Pro Alloy or Rad Tec for me.

I have a Forge one which i have never had a problem with but i would get a Pro Alloy one if something went wrong with mine. You will need to buy new hoses to fit the cooler and on some you may need a fitting kit.

PRO ALLOY

i had one on my 4x4 cos and fitted it to my 3dr which had a rad tech one .

PF did do a test with an original RS 500 , Rad tech , Pace and Pro alloy . Think they did on Lee Cattermoles car and it had an original RS500 on it before the test and he took the pro alloy one home with him because it was that good at lowering the ACTs

are you sure

I sell the Radtec coolers they have a 60mm core for the Sapphire Cosworth they fit with the std hoses as long as they haven't been cut.

If you compare the results in the test the Radtec Intercooler actually had the highest temp drop in the test.

You cannot beat them for price and function

I've got a couple in stock if you need it quick.

Pm me for a price.

Cheers
Daniel
