At this point, I'd say avoid them like the plague. It's been nearly a month and I still haven't received mine. Other than that, I heard a few others on here talking about apparent fitment issues. Hopefully they don't decide to F me and take my money.

After waiting almost 4 weeks for first radiator to arrive - it arived and the threaded openings were stripped out, apparently from the incorrect thread pitch on fittings they forced another two weeks and the second arived only slightly better n this regard. Ultimately ignored my repeated complaint and inquiries and simply would not respond. I would not conduct business with him again.
I ultimately sold it at a loss and did not use it for the following reasons:
1.)This radiator is thicker than stock. I was not happy with how hoses were going to fit. If A/C condenser gone and radiator moved forward 2" I think it would be right on (I was not going to get rid of A/C to fit radiator)
2.)I had to slightly open up holes on plastic fan shrowd to get to fit
3.)I had to trim tabs (were batwing rear bolts attach) on bottom of radiator support to fit.
4.)I was not satisfied with smooth tank mounting. The factory radiator has a small ridge that rubber mount fits into, this one is smooth, no ridge. Not a big deal, but I was going to have a ridge of weld positioned on either side for my own piece of mind.
5.) hose connection sizes and locations and bung are correct placement, but the bungs are threaded for pipe thread (I think) fittings.(stock plastic Porsche radiator nipples will not work).
The tanks were constructed of a very nice heavy guage aluminum. And quality welds and core construction.
For a race car, and a person not afraid to do some fabrication this may be a good alternate radiator.
If you are buying as a 100% bolt in I guarantee you will be very disapointed
