   Hi my radiator is on the line of braking. i am thinking of a new one or a good used one but its hard to find a good used one from a saxo vts. Btw i am thinking of runing boost this year maybe its best to get some other radietor that later could fit with the turbo?

   Believe you could get a nissens version. Made of aluminium so better cooling and they don't rust.

   Nissens aren't all that great to be honest, its just an OEM replacement.
   A good condition standard radiator should keep the car cool, probably best off looking into keeping the oil cool first
