    So since, as many of you know, my radiator very well might be dead, I'd like to just grab YungDz's old WRX radiator. Anyone know how I would do this swap? I know it is indeed possible... :sx:

    hook up the coolant hoses and uh attach the radiator to the car, and the fans. ziptie it if you have to.

    right, but I'm non-turbo. Apparently there's like a reservoir or some shit that I need to worry about.

    Check the location of the hoses. Make sure they're in the same place. I think it's different.

    the problem is the wrx radiator does not have a cap on it. Instead the cap goes onto a reservoir that routes the coolant to the turbo. Xan's N/A car does not have this reservoir.
