Default Radiator leak on STi V4..replace with original?

Hi!

My radiator got leak.. on the right lower corner (where the drain bolt is located - but it's not that what got leak)

So what to do now?

- get a original one for a few £££

- get an alloy 52mm radiator (e.g. Koyo, Fluidyne etc... ) where do I get them?

- get a used one with a fan (2 fans necessary?)

I've got a little performance "upgrade" to 330-350bhp!

And last question:
Do I need a 1,3bar STi (Greddy, HKS etc.) radiator cap??

Atm I've got the Classic Turbo one (0,9 or 1,1 bar I think)

Hi there .......i think the standard radiator is fine , but if you are going to replace it I would fit a alloy one if funds allow

1.3 cap not needed but it looks nice
