I installed the radiator this week. I can tell you that this job is not a simple job. It took me about 6 hours to install it. Getting the OEM radiator out is not easy as there is barely enough width to get it out. Leaving the drain plug out helps and you kind of have to watch the A/C lines on the driver side so the radiator doesn't get hung up on them. The Full Blown unit bolted in place perfectly and the Perrin hoses fit it perfectly. The A/C condensor easily bolted in place on the front. I have the dual 16" slim electric fans, so I can't comment on the OEM fan fitment. I will say that I can now see why this radiator might not work on other forced induction kits that utilize a wider radiator than the Full Blown unit. As mentioned the connections for the A/C lines on the driver side of the A/C condensor are moved forward the extra width of the radiator. The Full Blown intercooler is not wide enough to make contact in that area. I filled it up and bled the system with no leaks. Hopefully (well not really) I will hit some bad traffic on the way home this week to see if my temps still start rising.

Ahh, crap. I thought about doing this at my buddy's house but after reading this I think I'll take it to a shop and save myself the hassle.
