Do I need new coolant hoses when I install this radiator?

Check your existing hoses for cracks or hardening first. The radiator uses factory connection points, so your original hoses may work — but if they're over five years old or show wear, replacing them during the swap is smart preventive maintenance.

What about the thermostat housing — is it part of this radiator?

This is a core assembly only. The thermostat housing and water pump are separate components. If you're doing a full cooling system refresh, plan to source those separately.

Can I use this radiator if I've modified my engine for more boost?

This core is calibrated for stock turbo output and the hybrid-electric cooling cycle. Significant engine modifications beyond OEM spec may exceed its thermal capacity — verify with your tuner before installing.
