Radiator replacement, future boost, 1/2 size needed?

superhatch

So my radiator has a leak and I want to replace it and all the hosing with something better. I'm going to boost the z6 Im currently building but I need to get a new radiator in asap. I'm looking at the AFI street kit with the top mount manifold (below). Just wanted to hear thoughts about if I need to go with a 1/2 size radiator or if I can go with a regular dual core for the EF? The threads I've read don't seem to really spell anything out, but it seems like most boosted guys have just used the full size radiator. Any help is much appreciated.

I would be inclined to use the half-size..

Talked with Josh at AFI and he suggested half size as well. Just ordered an 93si Mishimoto radiator and (88-91) hose set.

I have the mishimoto half size radiator for a eg. And here r the problems I'm running into.
1 u will need a different lower crossmember. Innovative mounts sells one to fit a half size rad but it hangs really low if your lowered. (Hearsay not personal experience)
2 u will have to cut the lower rad mount out (the tab not the whole thing) and have it about a 1 1/4" lower than original support to close the Hood.
3 I'll also be having a problem with my downpipe hitting the radiator by about an inch(if u go Turbo) drag manifold with a bullseye spec turbo
I'm not mounting it crooked or tipping it back, forth, left or right I want it to sit how it should. Straight.
I don't have any coolant hoses to see if they fit or not tho
I'm just letting u guys know the problems I'm having. I'm grabbing a stock 1/2 size from work tomorrow and ill let u know if that fixes anything. And ill get some pics.
Sorry for any typing errors using the phone for this post because I was searching: )

OG, thanks for the input. If you view my members ride thread I have pics of my initial install, using the gangsta lean, and what my plans are to remedy it.
