I got my money back from the first part.

In this situation, the decision was made based on reviews of both the major choices of radiator. Both the major choices for radiators (CSF and Mishimoto) have their share of documented issues. Since I spend a majority up my time on twisty mountain roads, any extra cooling I can get if helpful.

Since I was buying one before it get warm anyway, I decided to go with the one that was cheaper. I also wanted to do a review and long term testing for the benefit of others.

Honestly, I don't trust the unit yet. I had tools and parts with me when I went to the dragon earlier in the week. I made 10 passes down and back with little traffic and it did it's job. Granted I didn't see oil temps where I'd like them but the engine never got out of the mid temp range. Normally I would have to pull over and let the car cool for a long period of time after 4 good runs. This was not the case this week.

I am hoping to install some data logging equipment before Zdayz. If I can find some other with equipment and a CSF and stock radiator, I'd like to do a comparison test that way we can all see how they perform at the same time same place.

I may end up doing this. I'm still pushing oil temps higher than I would like. The next option will be to upgrade fans I think. I just don't hit sustained speeds high enough up in the mountains to effectively cool. It would be nice to see how much of a cooling effect the radiator is giving.

You're ballsier than I am. If a company damn near cost me a motor, I'll be damned if I ever use anything they make again no matter how cheap they make it. Especially after how they claimed they sent you that replacement o-ring how many times before they actually did. Good luck.
