Bear with me... the rallycars' last radiator was a 2pass aluminum racin' thang off ebay. And we had to relocate the lower hose inlet from stock location all the way over to the lower driverside corner, to clear the turbo plumbing. Before I go buy another one and then mod it, my socalled memory is trying to tell me there is another radiator that matches a bg in every way except for that lower inlet... which is where I want it. Am I delusional and just wanna save some work? Well ai know I'm delusional, I think it's a good idea to rally a bg awd protege...

So are you asking if there are aftermarket radiators that are forced induction happy?
Regardless, I would just get the Ebay dual core aluminium rads. They have good welds and the price is pretty much too hard to beat. Then you can just experiment with bend hoses and make it work..1991 Protege LX 5MT, P/S, A/C, NOW Sun Roof!

That is the plan. We'll just cut the inlet off, plug the hole, and relocate it. WAs hoping to save a fabricating step buty this is Humpty the Rallykar and Humpty the Rallykar demands it's pound of flesh.
