I thought GTE and GE radiator are the same?

I was at autozone today checking prices on some new parts. I asked about the radiator hose and the radiator and they told me they are coming up with two different part numbers. I wanted to see what were the difference but they had none in stock. Are there a difference between the two? If so holy crap I am running a nonturbo radiator on a turbo.

I THINK the NA and GTE radiators are the same, but the lower radiator hose is different.

There are two different radiators, but they are dependent on the year, not if its turbo or na. So don't worry about running the wrong one.


edit: or they are just talking about a different part number for the upper and lower hoses

EPC shows different part numbers...

but the only real difference i know aobut is the tranny cooler in the bottom of the auto ones...

I'd look into an aftermarket performance radiator anyways, you can't ever have too much cooling, and a good overheat likes to pop headgaskets...
