Depends on whether it's a standard or automatic. Automatics have a built in transmission cooler. You can use an auto rad in a standard car but not vice versa (unless you add an external cooler)

All the '87-'88 Turbo cars Ive seen used a two core radiator, don't know if a three core was optional or not... The heavy duty rads from the parts houses are generally three core, I have one in my 5.0 TC...
