Front facing turbo and mini radiator

For the guys running front facing turbos, what mini radiators and slim fans are you using?

I had a cbrd before and had no issues. I have a koyo and fal fan and I have over heating issues when ac is on. I've tried a few things that haven't worked so I'm considering going back to a CBRD or trying a toxicfab

I have a BR radiator with FAL fan and -10 or -12 (can't remember) in and out lines with overheating problems. Now I have stock in and out lines (same radiator) with no overheating problems.

The only one I wouldnt buy if the STM mini radiator.
It doesnt allow you to use your OEM radiator mounting points, and you have to drill a new hole.

(Unlinke the pictures they have on their site)

Add me to the list. Whats ETA? I have my Koyo sold so I don't want this guy to wait too long. I'm still waiting to hear back from CBRD.

Collin's will come with a fan and shroud?

Our Mini Radiator kit is designed around the OEM mounting points. For perfect fitment, you shouldn't need to drill a thing. That's why we take the core and weld on mounting points such that it should fit perfectly (as shown on the site.)

If you know someone who had to drill, have that person contact us, because that's not right.

why only the forward facing guys? i run a godspeed half rad with -16an up hose, and the usual lower hose. i was afraid of over heating at first so i installed a mishimoto low temp thermo... BAD IDEA... cruise temps at 180... and the fans keep in town temps a balmy 195-205...
