Upgraded Radiator - Anyone using something other than Misimoto or Mountune?

Bump for ongoing issue... Just driving 15 minute in stop and go, definitely trying to go nice and easy and then exiting to a hilly area I nearly overheated (242 degrees) and it wasn't even quite 100 out... Looks like there is a 2 row radiator off eBay from China that is $284, but have no idea how bad quality is or fitting it might be. I think Ford needs to come up with a real solution other than ~$500 aftermarket, this is ridiculous!
I wish that someone had the Pro Alloy one installed for a full review, as compared to the Mountune/CSF, and Mishi ones as far as actual cooling goes.
I would spring for the extra coin for the Pro Alloy IF it actually proved to out-performed the others, and one was not throwing the extra coin at it just because it looked 'purdier'.![[wink]](/images/smilies/wink.gif "Wink [wink]")

Just to bump this back alive, it's $284 shipped. It's 2 row vs. 1 stock and 40mm thick vs 25mm stock, so definitely an upgrade over stock... It does have a bleeder valve, the idiots took the pics with it upside down, maybe that's why they aren't selling? LOL... 2 guys in the FB groups got them and both really like it, just not a super easy install apparently. I'm about ready to spring for one, will have it pro installed along with 180 thermostat. Not sure how you could possibly get a Mishi for $375, you're lucky... if I could, I'd just get that, but not paying $500 for a radiator.
That's great, I've had a lighting guy help me out with some LED's and covering half my Euro's projectors, so I can relate... it can definitely pay off being a nerd who posts a lot apparently, LOL.
Also, for those wondering. there is other stuff out there, PumaSpeed has stuff from the UK and even after shipping some of them are worth considering if you're gonna pay$500 anyway... THIS one is $473 shipped, for example, I wonder how the fit is though...

Well, not sure how this works, but PumaSpeed sells a single pass and a triple pass in that style, the one on eBay is double pass... So likely PumaSpeed decided to brand and sell the single and triple pass models and I guess the double pass gets sold on eBay... *shrug*
But can you confirm that quality and fitment is decent and any temp differences?
THIS is the one I'm all but certain I'm getting, probably exactly the same as you got?
Edit: Nevermind, found your other thread!
