I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

i dont want my cash going to china, i can afford a radtec so will buy one and support a british company i expect, if you cant afford a decent alloy rad get a 2 core from minispares the previous one i had was superb and would buy one again if funds were tight, i am only changing to a radtec because my 2 core has been damaged

on the looks front personally i think the chinese ones look gash the welding is nasty the 2 core looks better

There are different sidemounted chineese alloy radiators. Therefore you can´t say that if one is bad, they are all bad. BUT...
The price of a chineese radiator is no more than a standard radiator.

I have attached an xls file with radiator data and my test results.

And no. My radiator is not the same as the on you have your eye on.

I've just had a Pace Products Alloy Rad made, it's not the cheapest but it does a cracking job, and i've noticed it's much better then a Up graded 2 Core rad.

The review/build feature was good, looks like a real quality bit of kit. what size core did you get?

Cheers George, chuffed someone has seen and read it :) The core was made with 3 cores from the single tubes. Don't know the size of the top of my head but is was made the same over all size as the 2 core i had.
