Mishimoto Aluminum Performance Radiator 2004-2008 Forester XT

Keep your turbocharged Subaru Forester XT running cool under pressure with the Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator. Designed for the 2004–2008 Forester XT, this radiator is engineered to handle the extra heat generated by the 2.5L turbo engine, whether you’re on the daily commute, spirited back roads, or a rallycross course.

The lightweight dual-row core and 100% brazed aluminum construction provide superior heat dissipation and pressure tolerance compared to the stock radiator. TIG-welded polished end tanks add strength and style, while the direct-fit OEM design ensures a straightforward installation with no cutting or modifications needed.

For added reliability, this radiator includes two 1.3 bar high-pressure caps, a magnetic drain plug to capture metal debris, and increased coolant capacity to keep your engine running efficiently under all conditions. Upgrade from the failure-prone stock plastic end tank and enjoy peace of mind with a durable, high-performance cooling solution.

Notes:

• This item is for Manual Transmission vehicles. For automatic applications, please purchase optional Mishimoto transmission cooler (P/N: MMTC-U) 
• The following applies to Subarus. Not all vehicles will have this issue. The provided Mishimoto radiator cap should replace the stock cap located on the expansion tank. The stock cap attached to the radiator should be installed on the Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator. The Mishimoto radiator cap is a two way valve, while the stock radiator cap is a single valve. Due to the difference in construction, the Mishimoto cap cannot be used on the radiator. If the Mishimoto cap is fit on the radiator, overheating may occur.
