Default Replacing OEM standard radiator

Hi guys,

OEM radiator is leaking due to faulty side tank gasket or possible crack so i intend to replace it with a new one. Has anyone used one of these :

Are they any good? Your experience / opinions are appreciated

BTW its for a saffy 4x4 stage one chip, -31, 044 fuel pump, mongoose exhaust + standard factory turbo .

Wishing you all PF members all the best wishes for a prosperous new Year from the tiny island of Malta
