Radiator swop/upgrade
Looking at getting a bigger radiator for my vtr which will eventually be running a turbo, are there any other radiators that are bigger off another saxo or even another Citroen/Peugeot, don’t really wana go all out on an ally rad just yet if there’s a possible swop off another car

106 diesel radiator, pipework is a bit different and you'll need to install a header tank. no biggy.
it's all alloy as well.

Yes it's thicker and it's full width of the slam panel.
You don't need a huge radiator just because you'll be running a turbo.

That's not what I meant,
it depends on how much power you'll be running and location of things in the engine bay etc.

Don't forget to leave room for an intercooler.

‘Possibly an oil cooler ‘ you will definitely need an oil cooler if using for track use .
I run a direnza alloy rad which has been converted to use a header tank on my vts turbo , never had a problem with overheating

a better rad to use is an XSI AC rad, thick core like the diesel but has integrated header tank like the vtr/vts.
don't go overkill with the intercooler, so many people go for size over efficiency, a smaller thinner oem core can be just as efficient as the Chinese Ebay special behemoths.
