You could always buy a "Real" radiator from some members on here. You can find 'em real cheap.

i have around 9 psi. my turbo is t3 42.48. autocrap manifold. internal wastegate is set around 7 psi. i am using apex avc-r. (i dont know but that thing is piece of ----. with his duty cycle i am unable to setup normal boost. it;s allwways spiking). i have radiator as front mount intercooler =) and custom 2.25 exhaust. i have no timeslips, but owner of that b20 hatch sad that his best result was 13.7 sec 1/4 mile. i lost him 5-6 bodies at the end. i thought that i will be at least very near from him. =/

post pics of your radiator FMIC... i swear that wouldn't work unless you put metal around the hole thing to actually hold in air...
