   Right after a vts radiator for cooling etc, company fitting one says try and get hold of a valeo one?? these any good? ive also been looking into the nissens radiators, but can only find the ones on ebay, is there a proper website where these can be bought? Which would be better out of the above to??? Also if people know any links where i can obtain either of the two would be great cheers

   Eruo parts do a nissens rad for the vts which is better as it gives more cooling while still giving the same core length. Fits on std so no messing. Just remember that even with a velor you will need to order a new rad cap as they are different.

    the actual benefits to a car with an aftermarket rad...
    
    i have the following mods...
    
    green filter (open) 4-2-1 janspeed, decat pipe, scorpion imola 3.5" and remap with 7800rpm
    
    how would it benefit mine?

    A good motor factors will sell you a new rad, but they will come with a new rad cap in any case, unless you get one from citroen
