Recently I've bought an uprated 40mm radiator for Alfa 155Q4(it's the same as the 16VT one). It's a decent quality product, but the radiator inlet/outlet bore diameter is 8mm bigger than the diameter of the OEM hoses and it's almost impossible to use them. With a lot of efforts I succeeded in installing the OEM upper hose, but not the bottom one. Then I found that I can use a bottom hose from Opel Astra F that fits perfectly. After fitting it, the temperature in traffic during the hot days is several degrees lower compared to the stock radiator.

No, I don't have any photos of the installation process but except for the difference in the inlet/outlet bore diameter the installation is straightforward. The mounting points of the 155Q4 radiator are the same as the 16VT ones.
