Aftermarket Radiator For RMW Turbo Setup ?

It's awhile off since I'm just getting to my 6-Speed swap but here's my question. And I don't have many.... This probably can be only answered by J or H but here it goes. What aftermarket (big core) radiator will fit the 2L/BT setup? The reason why I ask is that I will need a new radiator for the MCS engine swap and WILL NOT go OEM....

not sure what your project goals are but we can design and fabricate any radiator and configure a cooling system for your engine package.

I see you cut the bumper to get the front mount in. What else had to be done? With the way it's plumbed in the pic did you have to remove the lights?

Thanks,

Well...ummm....you just posted pics on what I want to accomplish. I pretty much have all the harnesses and equipment to do the MC-> MCS -> 2L swap...lol. But first I need to finish up the 6-speed swap by the end of this weekend. Im just waiting on a few bolts and a shift cable. Im not going to be able get to the BT setup until the end of next year but I should be able to obtain the 2L in the next six months..Hence my other radiator post.....
