Anyone have any insight on how the condenser matches up with the tabs on the whoosh double pass radiator?
Had the stock one out in about an hour and I’m struggling to get the whoosh fitted. Thanks in advance. Pictures are always helpful if you e got them

So what I have learned.
The whoosh radiator is junk. This was my experience with one. A better use would be recycled soda cans. That’s where mine will hopefully reincarnate to, as I’m frustrated but also trying to be somewhat optimistic.

*Designed for an OE style drop-in install, all original mounting brackets have been retained for the purpose of allowing the original fan assembly to bolt on, allowing the new core to easily drop in place. Some minor aluminum tab manipulation may be required during installation.

This statement sounds legit. ^ Nothing lines up correctly. And will need to be cut, or Re-fabricated. Tabs and pegs were as much as 1/4” plus off.

OE radiator drain/ vent plug doesn’t even fit correctly. Had to file the radiator port down as it was too long and then also cut the base of my OE plug to get it to snap in place. Just a mess at every point of contact.

Took way too long to install and of course after “ minor manipulation” lmao it leaked. Which I really wasn’t too surprised after what needed to be done to it to get it to fit.

Final thought are, expect to buy twice if you buy one and give yourself plenty of time for all the hiccups. 8 hours plus.

Sorry you're having difficulty with the radiator
Looking back at the customer you purchased this from (Hernandez - April 2021) , it's one of the first 50 we imported.
2 of them were installed and tested on customer cars before opening up sales on the site
I really can't be sure if the radiator is the same one purchased from us over 2 years ago or why the fitment was off that much
