Just leaving a review incase anyone is interested in purchasing it without any worry. For the month+ I have had the "chinese" aluminum radiator installed along with the "upgraded" coolant hose to the coolant expansion tank. They are both holding wonderful so far. Fitment of the radiator I would give it a 6/10, main issues were the plastic brackets not lining up with the slots on the radiator. Second fitment issue was the rubber grommet section on top rubbing the coolant hose. Other then that, performance is very similar as the OEM just no more plastic end tanks to fail. Also, all the hoses clipped in as if it were OEM.

As a total in my honest review if I would ever purchase it again, you bet I would even with the headache fitment.

Update on both aluminum radiator and aluminum overflow hose. Solid unit for the radiator no leaks. The aluminum hose had a small seep removed it found it to be the o ring's going bad. Found a o ring kit at Home depot to work perfectly for replacement. Part number 1006 915 928, its a 45 piece kit. Not sure of the exact size, but I placed the original o rings next to them each and found the thicker one to be in better use. Also I have replaced the upper radiator hose that goes under the intake manifold.

So I got the radiator myself and saw your post when installing and I have a question did you order the hose because the other one doesn’t fit or for what reason was it ordered? The reason I ask is because when installing it the hose you put but for me which was the oem one disconnects. So the reason I ask was did you have the same problem and did that hose fix it?
