Default Recomend me an alloy rad pleae

radiator is a bit fubared, since the turbo is coming of this week (again)
i thought id change radiator at the same time, looked at pro alloy, pace
and radtec, all around the £300 mark so anyone have any preference
or is there any cheaper ones out there (im a tight git)

cheers troops

I also have a pace one and have had it for 6 years now, never had any problems with it and the fit is spot on.

addiction & Andy-ywk, just what ive read on here and a few other places, people tend to stay clear of pace intercoolers etc, never had one personally hence the "i have heard Pace are one of the ones to avoid tho"
