I dont think its for a turbo because the Turbo Rad does not use the typical coolant fill in the rad itself, you add coolant to the coolant expansion tank which goes to the Turbo and such so ya that ones for a N/A

What you can do to make it work in a turbo car is take the sprind and what not off the cap that goes on the radiator, and run that line up to the expansion tank like the turbo radiator does.

Keep in mind that radiator is going to be smaller than your turbo one. That guy is also full of shit.

I got mine from here: $181 for the proper turbo radiator. its larger and has no fill port on it.

Or I believe one from an aluminum GC8 turbo impreza would work too... they appear to have the right fittings. I would have purchased this if I'd seen it before I bought my OEM one. But I had a cracked radiator and needed a fix.

realy nice thx you think i may need something else to make this fit?

That radiator is meant for the non-turbo cars. There is a height difference between the non-turbo & turbo radiators. I would not get that radiator for a turbo car.

thx you josh but what now what should i do with y crack radiator

it's seem to me that the leak is very small

should i just leave it like that where i can get a new one for a good price.

i heard there is some stuff you put on the radiator that stop leak
or maybe i should look for jober head so i can fix it!

your tough?

i tried removing, cleaning, sanding and jb welding mine when it first cracked. and that worked for about a week before cracking through the jb weld... if its just temporary you could try that.

You need to get a new radiator obviously....and unfortunately they're not overly cheap.
