I'm planning on spending $710~ on a Mishimoto FULLY sealed radiator (no stupid plastic side tanks).
Pros: fully sealed
Cons: stupid plastic side tanks
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
The radiator does cool the DSG so I feel the Mishimoto radiator was definitely worth it.
Pros: cools the DSG
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?

I bought and installed a Mishimoto thermostat that activates at 68°C, while my vehicle OEM (Original factory) thermostat activates at 88°C and fully opens at 100°C. With the Mishimoto thermostat (68°C), the coolant temperature basically stays 71 ~ 74°C when driving, from OBDII reading. Short Term Fuel Trim was OK, between -10% and +10%. I checked the spark plugs after one week, they were fine.
However, after three weeks (last Saturday to be precise), the Check Engine Light was on when I started the vehicle, and OBDII gave Code P0128. I searched the code online and got: coolant temperature fails to reach the proper operating temperature, or Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature. My thinking was the engine finally realized that the temperature was below the operating temperature, due to the Mishimoto thermostat.
Cons: caused CEL P0128, engine below operating temp

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.
Pros: larger core, more fluid capacity
Cons: reputation for core leaks
