Best aluminum radiator?

[94'TSI'AWD]

Hello I was going to be upgrading the radiator on my 94 TSI AWD because mine is in really bad shape. Now i wanted to get an aluminum radiator rather than another plastic denso. SO my question to you guys is: What kind of aluminum radiator would you recommend? I was planning on getting a Mishimoto aluminum radiator from a local performance shop for $290. Now is that a decent deal or would you guys go with something different?

 

[T is for TURBO]

Radiator
Talon/Eclipse Radiator

Radiator with fans
Talon/Eclipse radiator kit

Radiator with fans and shroud
Talon/Eclipse radiator kit with shroud

All under $290.

Not much to a screw up when building a radiator.

I have a Fluidyne, and would NEVER buy anything else. I have no personal experience with Mishimoto, however I've always heard good things about them. Extreme PSI sells Mishimoto radiators for $189ish. Fluidyne radiators are like $400.

Mishimoto is the best, hands down. My Fluidyne and Koyo both failed on me, my mishi has been running strong for two years.

I run PR kits in both my 1g and 2g and they work great. I've had the one on my 2g for around 2 years now. No problems with the radiator.

There isn't really any specially about the Fluidyne, Koyos, Mishimotos or any other aluminum radiators no matter how much they cost. I personally have been running this Punishment Racing radiator w/ the twin fans @ $220 on my 500hp+ and is has worked wonders. The most important thing is the fan(s) and the setup especially if you have a FMIC right in front of it blocking off all the air flow.

I have a koyo. It's ok.
