ya, performance should be good. im gonna order a 07 stock radiator monday morning to see what kinda things i can do. As far as wall thickness, the thiicker i go the price's tend to go up. Let me see what i can do for you guys and ill post results on monday morning when i get to the shop.
But if ur stock radiator's hold up on boost all alum will hold up the same. The plastic tanks are usually what crack's on stock radiators with metal in place of the plastic, tanks cracking usually isnt an issue anymore. And as long as the radiator doesnt fail due to your cooling system, thermostat, rust etc.. i can warranty it.

radiator is radiator.. unless your making serious power.. this is basically pointless.. for turbo car a good radiator is very important, but worthless for allmotor n/a maxima boltons..
you guys should look into a coolant additive that keeps the coolant temps down by like a few degrees.. very worth it imo..

crazy I know. add in a Mishimoto Low Temp Thermostat, and presto you have an engine running about 30 degrees cooler. Ohh don't forget a transmission cooler, cooler transmission means longer life and even cooler engine.

You post is counterdicting. a radiator is a radiator and is basically pointless, add a coolant additive? The idea is better flow/less restriction, and lower temp. Brace your mind around a more efficient radiator with an additive crazy I know. add in a Mishimoto Low Temp Thermostat, and presto you have an engine running about 30 degrees cooler. Ohh don't forget a transmission cooler, cooler transmission means longer life and even cooler engine.

Car is at shop getting radiator fitted now, so I have time to kill til I pick it up. It seems to me that for a few hundred bucks to have your engine run cooler and last longer, thats quite a bargain.
**EDIT** Car is done and ready to be picked up. Ill start a new thread with pics and contact information.

The reason Im holding out taking pics is that I want to start a new thread with pics and information on where to buy. Im waiting for that info. If you REALLY want pics, Ill take some of radiator in car and post in a new thread.

You know guys are anxiously waiting for the pics. You raised people's hopes a lot already, when you mentioned you would post pics next day. So, I guess one just have to wait till you post the pics...

I said I would post pics the next day because I was promised pics the same day from the installer of the radiator and he didnt send them to me - maybe due to the holidays. I would rather delay pics a few days and have all the info for you, rather than show pics of a radiator installed which isnt particularly remarkable, although it does look pretty darn good.

I contacted the Mishimoto sales rep and he said that pricing has not yet been determined. If you want pcis of the radiator in the car, I can do it but not sure if that will be very helpful or not. I like to have all my ducks in a row before I make new threads, especially of a new product installed on my car.

No need to start a new thread. Why not just post a pic or pics in your album or post 2 or 3 pics on here. We've waited too long for these pics... Kindly show us the radiator. You say it looks good.
