Focus RS MK1 Front mounted intercooler? which one?
Ok so im all up for saving money were i can, i am after a decent front mounted intercooler, have read that 100mm core seems to be popular, what are people opinions on the stage 2 airtech kits, worth the money or is there a cheaper alternative thats just as good? Thanks. Dean.

I had a airtech kit on my, worked really well and notice a good drop in inlet temps on a before and after on the charge cooler. Looked really good and the kit was easy to fit with everything there. Havent used any other kits just the airtech one but as a numpty on anything hands on it was a great package.

What other mods do you have already? I wouldn't worry about a front mount until you're around 320+ bhp. I found when we fitted the front mount to Kelly's car it made it quite a bit more laggy. I feel in a way it has ruined how it drives

That's the thing mate, at the minute I have standard 2.0l, I have right now (unfitted) a hybrid turbo, tubular manifold, rs valves, rs cams and rs mangement, I plan to get a good front mounted intercooler, dw65c fuel pump, 630cc Siemens injectors, super tech pistons, eagle rods, adjustable pulleys, ported head, uprated clutch, sabre remap, and much more, but I won't be fitting anything until I have everything together and ready to fit which will probobly be a complete rebuilt turbo'd engine, it's not like I have my engine up and running ready to just upgrade parts, I'll just be going all out straight off the bat hoping for 300+bhp. I plan to buy everything and not plan on replacing Anything, so I need to get it ll right first time.
