It looks like a decent setup but cooling is one of those things I wouldnt cheap out on. Personally im going with Mishimoto because of the countless positive review and lifetime warrany. I was reading there warranty policy and even if the radiator gets damaged in a car accident they will replace it. I wont be installing my radiator till next weekend but just from looking at the radiator it looks pretty well built.

When using aluminum for the entire cooling system, a lot of scaling(corrosion buildup) can occur. My advice is to get a anode/cathode(which one, I can't remember) for the radiator. This will attract the baddies and save the rest of the system. Good luck with the alum radiator, it helps mine run about 3 notches cooler.

I've always had good luck with Koyo and Fluidyne. I can't speak for how reliable that "ebay" brand rad you posted will be. I've also "heard" good things about mishimoto products.

550? Im guessing you bought the radiator and shroud? Make sure to post pics once you get the radiator. I just got the regular Mishimoto since I couldnt find any install pics of it in a teg and wasnt sure if it would clear my header.

X line and Mishi FS will not fit due to header clearance. Their website even says that....
