Radiator

Radiator
Couple of days ago the coolant light on my dash started to blink.
I check the reservoir and its a bit low but still above the low line.
I add some coolant, then a day later the light comes up again.
Check again, the reservoir is empty,
check the radiator itselt and I can see it has enough in there,
but oh well I added some.
And day after day I'd get the light to come on and off,
so I say F this let me compression test the radiator,
and sure enough when I put some pressure I see air sipping through
this hair line crack on the plastic piece near the radiator cap.
So thanks for reading my story.
I'd like some advice on what kind of radiator should I go with?
I Don't plan on adding boost so a high performance radiator is not needed.
I can special order a radiator from work but it's $238.00.
I know I can find a less expensive one than that.
Please I'd like some input.

There is someone giving away a stock radiator in this thread. He's in California but might ship it if you pay for it, look for lfers post.

LOL. I've only used Koyo radiators because of their price and outstanding quality. If you search around, almost everyone who needed a replacement got Koyo. This isn't limited to just Toyota either!
Some of the cheaper ones I've seen are not bad, but the fitment is sort of off. Holes don't line up like they should, and sometimes their use different caps. All the Koyo radiators I've bought used OEM caps and they fit perfectly.
