i found this radiator(http://www.pricematchedparts.com/index.php?p=product&id=1781&parent=5) on PMP at a good price. now i'm wondering, would this increase performance over the stock radiator enough to spend the money?

unless you're upping power, running hot, of yours is broke in some way, i'd say the money's better spend elsewhere...like on motor mounts, clutch, new leather,boost controller, BOV, etc.

well i actually have been running a little hot lately. i did the free boost mod and since then its been a little hotter than usual. also the car is pretty old and before i purchased it last march the previous owner had it sitting for somewhere around 5 years. i'm thinking the radiator is just old and needs to be replaced

The HKS and TurboXS sound good, as does the RFL model.
I absolutely hate the Greddy BOV sound though.

Greddy is the best sounding BOV period.

Tial is way way way better then a Greddy bov for sure!
And if you want a good deal on a radiator man check out the koyo knock offs PMP has There 200 bucks also but if you want it let me know I will give you a little better of a deal.

Jason do those fit all model 3s or is the SOHC different?
I dont think it is but I want to make sure.
I think I paid $200 for my replacement rad 4 or 5 years ago.
I do have a leak and if I find its coming from the rad I will probably look into that.

The SOHC is the same as long as it isn't an Auto. Let me know what you find when you check for the leak.

I've had the leak for a long while.
I need to pressure test my cooling system.
