I think it's better to fit a seperate charge cooler Matt as i believe the escos ones are cooled with the engine coolant.

Yes Marco, well I will use the std escos chargecooler but with a separate water circuit so the chargecooler won't be "cooled" by the hot engine water, but by a separate circuit running through a separate radiator and a water pump.

The thing is that I do not know if I REALLY need to work a bit on the shell to fit it in the small pace where the std sapphire one sits.

Smart

A mate of me is running a Pace charge cooler on his Clio and there's less space then a saph,he had to relocate the battery in the boot for fitting the charge cooler unit
Pump and radiator is no problem i think on the saph,only thing is that the escos cooler is a bit wider on the driver side i believe,i would say buy a second hand and try it,if not sell it
Maybe someone has tried it before

I already have it and, yes as you said it is wider, this is why I need some advices to fit it hehe. I know Mister Rainbird had one on his saph. The thing is that the watercooled part is really big (on turboside).

Don't speak about driver side, because we are in the UK there
