Turbo radiators are slightly larger than base radiators. You can find them at any Autozone or Oreilly's.

I think toyota used the 3-core V6 type rad. on the Turbo's. But everything I've read says to up to a larger 4-core rad

Some turbo's can be water cooled. check out the turbo and see if theres a connection for coolant. Make sure it's not for oil, cause u definately don't want to get them mixed up.

The turbo radiators have an extra connector for coolant return, as mentioned above. If you bought a 3-core radiator, you could have any radiator shop braze the connection on there...
