I'm pretty sure I'm leaking coolant from my end tank on the driver side....what's a good aftermarket replacement?

what would I need to do for an aftermarket radiator? new upper and lower hose?

I'm a radiator noob.....

you can use an L model with some modification to hose length and pressure cap spring delete.

91-94 legacy 2.2 turbo radiator is the same as an EJ20G,K,etc. that is what my JDM STi rad looks like(identicalin every way).

koyo probably has a GC8 turbo application, or they know how to mod an existing model to work with as little trouble as possible.

I'd say don't bother about an aftermarket radiator, go with a stock one like I'll be doing soon because I'm in the same situation. I do believe most of the turbo subarus use an identical radiator like Keith mentioned.

an STi rad(04+) is gonna need to be modded a little. iirc someone had lower mount issues. not sure if that was the case, but that may be a good option for more headroom.

I run a 00 2.5 RS radiator and fans with my ej20g. Had to modify the cap and get a little creative with one of the lines but works peachy.

That's a good price for that. USDM Leggy Turbo radiators are the same, and I usually get $75-100 for them...

Get a koyo.
Im putting a leg. turbo koyo in myne and the thing is HUGE! its honestly 3X larger. Its like 40mm thiker, its taller and wider. It requires new mounting brackets for the top, and some skinny fans, but ill be perfect for the track and autox. I just hate looking at my coolant guage and see it be at 90c+ degrees.
