Default radiator used for turbo setups

I am looking for a new radiator for my turbo car. I am looking for the usual aftermarket Griffin radiator that most people use. Was wondering what size and where i can buy it? Is there an alternative to that, possibly cheaper?

Thanks

i used the 15" high radiator and my car was overheating in traffic so i went to the 27.5x19x3 Griffin radiator. doesnt overheat now even in 110* summer days. i have an extra one if you are interested? it has the top (inlet) on the passenger side and the lower on the drivers. has some fin damage as usual. $120 shipped to ya.

I will let ya know.
it would be difficult to make that work tho with my turbo in the way of routing my coolant hoses.

you have any pics i can see of what was repaired and the whole setup... i just think i will have a big issue routing my water hoses around the turbo to fit with the different setup
Thanks
