    I've probably thrown half a dozen of those away over the years. Make a post in the parts wanted section, you will have a better chance of finding what you need.

    Can't get anything to you but the chepest you can go is repair or DIY. Don't use the copper plug sand junk either. It works but You don't want that stuff in your turbo.

    Re: i need a radiator

    eh, i used some rosin core solder, said made for brass and copper, hit the leaking area with the dremel a bit, some brake clean took off the paint/antifreeze/whatever else, little wire brushing, propane torch and solder, was just 2 pinholes, let it run for 30 mins after, no leaks, nothing, all is well again!, fyi-jb weld when warm can be used with a brush over any repairs made with solder---worked awesome!!! probably strongest part of the radiator lol
