GReddy radiators have an orifice for an aftermarket gauge probe. Theirs fits a greedy gauge, but you can get a conversion fitting. That's the ballers way to do it. Buy a $500 part to install a $50 part.

ghetto way - small section of pipe, splice into lower water hose, insert temp probe in there.

if its the same temp in the top hose as the bottom hose, then screw a radiator, just bypass it entirely!

atleast he picked up why a radiator is there. What you are looking for when watching a water temp gauge is just consistancy. If it is at 180F every day and one day it shoots to 220 then you know you got a problem.
