A standard turbo with front cover? That external wastegate port doesnt look standard :)

For that cheap it's bound to be stuffed or an ebay turbo.

Depends on a lot of factors... Hard to tell from pics... Kinda need to spin it by hand to look for bearing/chra issues and inspect for cracks and/or oil issues.

Does anyone know of a decent radiator for the FGs?

Fenix radiator has given up with less than 5k on it so they're out.

PWR do one but its around $1k.

Do adrad or anywhere else do them?

stock radiator is great, actually. change thermostat and then associated fan settings in tune and it's an adequate cooling system for... well... almost any streetable power level.

Always found it getting over half way on the temp gauge in summer without giving it much so I'll skip the stocker.

Mmmm that doesnt seem normal ozzy, I live in qld and can flog the piss out of it in the peak of summer, never goes over half

Might be worth testing your thermostat or just throwing a new one at it.

Edit, sorry I miss understood, your not on stock rad anymore. Still ive never gone over half with the stock one, and it does get beat a fair bit. I know the guys doing circuit work have had probd with the stock one though..
