I've got a mishimoto installed as well as the mishimoto upper/lower hoses excellent quality at a good price ( in Canada 150k km since installed) spray them off with a hose and they look like new again.

So ***** rigging is something nobody in the history of cars has done? I just share my experiences. Take my gauges for example. Pod screwed straight into the dash. Works just fine for holding two pieces of information I need to help make sure other **** ain't broke. Sure I do need to exercise patience and wait till I have everything I need but at least the car still runs. Also I don't mind the whole learning to hard/stupid way I.e. keep you hand away from that nipple on the radiator because that **** breaks super easy. Thus I share so maybe someone equally as dumb as me can learn

Screwing a pod into a dash and JB welding your OEM radiator when it breaks twice is a different story. My radiator broke right before my tune, I bought a new one. Why take the chance right?

Oh nah this radiator hasn't broken twice. Same thing happened to my last radiator in the same spot before. Ghetto rigged. Ran great till I replaced it. Same situation with this radiator. Two different radiators. Same problem same "fix". Only difference is this time I am getting that aluminum replacement.

At least this time you learned. Worst thing that can happen is that you blow your motor, but that's the risk you take with a "temp" fix

Yup. Since the JB weld every time I get in and out of my car I check the "repair" and fluid levels. As I drive I constantly smell the air. No leaks though so I am thankful for that

See this is what I mean. I'm not trying to be an ******* but seems to me you wanna but something you're not, a gear head. The fact that this happened twice on two different oem radiators and you STILL came on here looking for another oem replacement proves that you just don't have it in you. Obviously cause everyone else's natural response was to upgrade immediately to an all aluminum one. Now maybe you didn't have the money of didn't wanna spend the money on one, and again that just means the car game isn't for you. BUT in the end you made the right choice and bought the right part.
