well, i think a 3i radiator is bigger?? if so what intercooler you using??

and the main thing is,, if you are running a water cooled turbo you will need to modify the rad a little so that the water feed for the turbo can be fixed in place..

You'll have a right job fitting an intercooler with a 3i rad!

Ive got a S2 rad in mine, had to hand make a couple of brackets but didn't take long
