Default Standard Escoz cooler or 500 intercooler ?

I have an alloy RS 500 spec intercooler which i initially bought for a rwd saff. Thinking of fitting it to a large turbo escort. A mate of mine told me that the standard escort coolers are better. Any ideas folks ?

ive heard that upto about 330 hp, the std setup works just aswell as the 500 setup, its only over 350 that you will need the better cooling of the 500.

Cheers guys, Brother is an aluminium welder, if it was a case of just moving the brackets i could get it sorted. I could always swop it for an escort one from where i bought it.
