When you add coolant and water into the radiator, make sure the water is filtered, not tap water. Some tap water have solvents that can build up, thus clogging it. If you want a decent aluminum radiator, get Mishimoto. For a tad more, you can opt for a Koyo. I had both on separate cars....can't really tell the difference except for the price.

or at equal quality to the mishimoto, get the Neukin setup i got. just as good, cheaper, and 100% plug-n-play out of the box.
my review on it..
