Have you noticed any improvement with the radiator?

I am interested in getting a bigger radiator as part of my build

hey there! well no issue at all! perfect clearance and does not get in the way of anything. I even got the perrin oil cooler to fit in there with ease. I have the perrin up front in front of the intercooler and perrin has found that does not effect the charging system at ALL. Both upgrades def help though!

hope this helps!

well the intercooler is bolted to the underside of the front brace protection thing. the radiator is behind all of that and even my koyo had no issues back there. so koyo then the intercooler in front bolted into the front protection brace with the bumper off then PERRIN oil cooler fits right in front of the intercooler with no issues what so ever. nothing has fitment issues. Now so I've heard and saw that the perrin cooler most likely works the best in terms of placement and fitment. all of my upgrades fit and have no issues what so ever.

If anyone with a vortech kit who wants to try our radiator, please PM me. We will give one to the first person at a killer deal. It looks as though our radiator will clear.

that's awesome dude! hope someone takes advantage of that!

Our stage 2 turbo kit has a very thick core and it clears our radiator fine. To add more clearance, we opened up the holes on the upper radiator bracket and tilted the radiator back a little.

Keep us posted on how it turns out. The Koyo rad is an good OTS solution for now but it would be nice to have something a bit more hardcore if needed. Granted in all honesty we need some data to back up that its at least the same if not better.

@ft86me @FullBlown

Here is the photo from the side of the Koyo and Vortech charge pipe.
You can see how absolutely there is basically no room for much anything else without shaving that bolt on the condenser line.

Which Koyo radiator is it that you have? This one (sku 10126632) or this one (sku VH012663)? I'm assuming it is the latter all aluminum one.
