Default Quick Radiator Question.... pics added

I have a turbo setup from kytp. Its a tube header setup. I have cut the core support to stand my radiator up. Well my outlet tube for the radiator is right in front of my crossover making it so I cant put on a hose of any type. My question is will it hurt anything with cooling if I moved the outlet down on the end tank of the radiator about 4"

I don't see why that would be a problem. The radiator is under pressure so what goes in is going to come out.

Step up to the plate and spend the $$$$ to get a Afco Dual pass with both the inlet and outlet on the passenger side.

If I do this it will just give me the same problem on the opposite side!

Afco Part #80133N
A couple custom hoses and you are set.

Go with Josh's idea. I've actually researched this already. They can also do a filler neck on the radiator since it has that little valve on top of it in the filler neck's place. You can also have them put the bungs in for the lines coming from the heads. I haven't ordered it yet but the price is a lot more reasonable than the ron davis setup.

I would actually love to do the afco setup.. but honestly I think it would make my problems worse... here are some pics... I love the setup but there is just no room what so ever for the upper hose.... If the wastegate was flipped to the radiator side things would prob be a bit easier for the griffin setup and flipped and reveresed and the afco setup would work perfect...

do the afco. both the inlet and the outlet will be on the passenger side. order the radiator with a 45 an setup and face the hose towards the passenger side away from the wg. only thing is you'll have to weld up a an fitting on the water pump.
