Hey guys I'm currently running a messed up turbo because I can't afford to buy a new one and I just wanted to know if it would damage my engine any...Also what would be better to put as my radiator a dual core or a three level radiator? I believe the three level is a little smaller in actual size like it's a 18x17 and the dual core is like a 20x22?

Messed up how? Leaky seals? Shaft play? Bent fins?

A triple core radiator will be more efficient in cooling than a dual core but you may require a higher volume water pump to see the benefits.

I believe it has damaged and bent fins in it...I bought the car like that lol. And I might just go with the Dual core right now because I don't really have the money to upgrade the water pump also...

If there are bent fins there is a possibility of metal shavings and metal particles going into the engine. I would suggest looking for a replacement turbocharger or get it rebuilt ASAP.
