looking into getting a 2 core radiator soon, was wondering what is the difference between a 2 core rad and an alloy 2 core rad? what benefits do alloy rads have?

minispares have their own alloy rad which is a similar price to a normal 2 core? opinions please?

In my own experience, Pace Products did me any Alloy rad and it was a little better than the up rated 2 core mini spares rad, Which was in it's self is very good and did me well for many years, Just depend on what power your going for really.

i used a 2 core for years with a 1275 and continued to useit with my turbo build originaly but found it couldent cope having the turbo charger plumbed in to the water system aswell.

i now use an ally rad and have not had any problems the only time it even gets hot is stationary and having an extra fan hooked up to a switch solved that.
i highly recommend the alloy rad. i got mine when they were very pricy and am still happy with what i paid
