Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or Nissens

I'm planning on spending $710~ on a Mishimoto FULLY sealed radiator (no stupid plastic side tanks).

The radiator does cool the DSG so I feel the Mishimoto radiator was definitely worth it.

So, I have the Mishimoto rado, which I bought for my Mk3 but now I'm transplanting it all into my Mk2. That's why I'm asking.

How do you like the Mishimoto rad?

Received the Mishimoto radiator

griffins normal fit better. i've used both in other cars. but for the cost. mistimoto is good. they work well, no issues as of yet! just fitment is ehhh.

A few things in this pic make me gag, the FRAM filter and cork VC gasket. Not a fan of Castrol oil either, but it isn't the end of the world yet. The Nissens radiator is a nice product, I've used them in the past of other European vehicles.

Nissens, Modine, Denso Marstin

I bought a Mishimoto upgraded radiator. As far as I could find at the time, the only major concern about the Mishimoto radiator was that they had a penchant for leaking at the quick-connects machined into the inlet and outlet.
