I'd planned on upgrading my inline 6 (turbo) eventually so I wanted a radiator I didn't have to worry about.

ANYHOO, I ordered this radiator http://www.cjponyparts.com/product.asp?pn=RADA12 a few days ago. It was on backorder so I just sent an email asking for the cancellation. I need a new one asap, I have a small hole in my current and the car's my daily driver. Also, when I placed the order on Saturday night the price was only 269. I checked just now and it's 30 dollars more (299). Crappy.

I'm gonna look around a bit but will probably order this one:

Does anyone have any reason not to? Experience with VCM?

I would just get a direct replacement radiator. Thats what I did, and got an aluminum one. For the I6 a good replacement radiator should be fine.

I honestly think that putting a turbo on the 200 is a disaster waiting to happen, unless a lot of money is dumped into it. I doubt it will hold up or last very long. I wouldn't do it to an older motor.

I just realized I linked the the V8 style. And the I6 bottom end is extremely strong, but that's for another topic.
