Fortune Auto 500. 8k front / 10k rear

Larger shock than the other manufacturers, and a beefier design overall. I could talk them up more but just read this; http://www.fortune-auto.net/aboutus.htm
Ya. Def red shirt lol bottom of the rung. 2nd check entirely for the MSP tho. Which you guys know, its not a Honda parts are expensive and hard to find local.
I cleaned my EGR, NO CEL!! Still almost stalling when I press the clutch at idle. I don't get it.

This sounds a lot more like what I expected than what had been reported to you.
It does in fact plant the power better coming out of turns though. I will experiment with it at the next local auto-x and report back.

What hoses do I need to put a P5 radiator in the car? Upper? Or both upper and lower?
I got it up and running, and as I was sitting there making sure everything was okay, letting it run for 20 minutes or so, then SPEW! There goes the radiator. I really don't want to spend $280 on a replacement, so I figure I'll put in a 5 radiator.

p5 radiator is a downgrade, fyi. your car will run hotter. i payed 220 for the radiator my mechanic put in for me, it was listed as "performance" through his parts dealer. i see temps of 220 highest when boosting a lot, when not boosting at all coolant stays around 180 degrees

Financially, this year has been kicking my ass, and having to spend $500 to rebuild my extra engine last week didn't help, so in short, I don't give a s*** as long as it's not overheating and it's driveable. LOL. So, upper and lower?

p5 radiator is wider but has less depth, MSP radiator is basically like a dual layered p5 radiator thats not as wide. msp radiator flows more coolant and flows it better and more efficiently. theres a lot of info covering it on these boards. think about it.. boosted cars run way hotter. hell my car had a coolant temp of 160 when cruising when my coupler popped off, but cruising when all pipes are good i automatically run 20 degrees hotter since the engine is now pulling the air through a hot as **** turbo, and i dont even go above 0psi.. lol
on the topic of radiators, i've been meaning to ask... is there a radiator we can use besides spending a bunch on a performance one or a NA radiator? I've checked local auto part stores before and they dont have a replacement for MSP's. They list MSP's having NA radiators

I can get a replacement radiator for the MSP. It's $282.
So I just got done adjusting ride height. Was rubbing a bit in the back. Had to add a little rake to it, but it's still not as much as the stock Tokico's rake it out. Really, really enjoying the new set-up. With the tune, and now the coilovers it's like I bought a new car. Hopefully this will hold me over for a while. Next on my project list is seats + harness + cage + gut the back, but that's a year or more down the road.
Endlinks should be here today or tomorrow, so I'll get to try it with the front bar soon. Will report back with details.

If I order the OE replacement from Worldpac by 12, I'll have it by 4:30 out of Nashville. I already go the P5 radiator for $74.
To be completely honest, I'm going to install the P5 radiator, drive it like that for a month or so, then remove it and return it as defective to the parts store and install an aftermarket or the OE replacement.
