So part #5 in the diagram has a leak but says it's only available with the whole radiator assembly -__- Any suggestions ?

They sell a product at the parts store that can patch up hairline cracks or whatever in the radiator but radiators are cheap and easy enough to replace that I'd just buy a new one be done with it.

That's what I figure I have to do. Any aftermarket recommendations anyone ? Mishimoto or Spearco?

well, if you want a shiny new aluminum one, go with a koyo or mishimoto.

Mishimoto on the left vs. stock on the right. I'd say much better cooling capabilities.

How much did you pay for that pretty thing?

That looks like a high capacity radiator... gotta be $350-400+.

Let us know how the install on the mishimoto goes. I've heard of things not exactly lining up requiring slight modifications. So I went with the Koyo V2588 ($304 Shipped from TunerSports). But I'm still interested in your personal experience.

I've heard the same thing so fingers crossed. I was actually unaware that there was such a big thickness difference between the mishimoto and stock. Which must be why there's fitment problems

Wow that's quite the difference. Maybe I'll pick one up for my TT setup might as well the whole thing is apart.
