That's "fanboyzz" to you! 
Sorry, but I do have the right to NOT trust Mishi despite their lifetime warranty.
Unlike many others on here, I get no joy from removing and replacing the whole front end of the car twice or more a year, for no good reason, such as; sloppy QC and piss poor Sino manufacturing.![[nono]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_nono.gif "No No [nono]")
Of course you will say the same could hold true for the Mountune once it's out in a bunch of FiSTs, and you could be correct, and that's why I'm hoping many others will jump into the game as well.
But, the above does NOT instill any more of MY trust in the Mishi products, and I would still 'take my chances' on the Mountune IF those are the only choices when I am buying a radiator in the future.
The sole Mishi part currently on my car is the oil drain plug, and even THAT has the hex corners starting to round off after two oil changes (at not even the suggested torque), and it also has a relatively weak magnet in it, so that is being replaced this coming week by a Dimple drain plug with the strongest magnet of any of the plugs, anywhere on the market.

I buy my parts off of data and what works best for me, not where it's made. As Koozy said above, Mishi was transparent as hell with the development of their radiator. They presented realistic data and details on their tests. Mountune shows us......a graph. That's it. Where was the heat readings taken from? It certainly wasn't from the engine itself, as the thermostat wouldn't allow the engine to cool down to the 156* they claim. Did they take the thermostat out and test? Maybe they took the readings from the inlet, or maybe it was the outlet, or maybe the body of the radiator? Who knows? Don't get me wrong; I'm not bashing on Mountune. I honestly hope theirs is a beast of a radiator that is at least equal to the offering from Mishi, as I may end up needing it if space becomes an issue. But as it sits, just based on the currently availabile data alone, I'd buy the Mishi every time. I'm hoping these folks thatve bought the Mountune put it through its paces and report back with real data under different driving conditions that we can use. I'd like to see data on a stock turbo and hybrid/BT cars as well.
