On hot countries, fitting this type of I/C is a good improvement in ACT but they block the airflow to the radiator causing serious heating issues on radiator water temps....

The best is to fit a good intercooler without block the airflow to the radiator.....but not easy on RS Turbos, not enough free space on the front of them....
I dont have any heating issues with fans in between and neither do most people running with a grs intercooler, and all front mounts block airflow to the rad to a certain degree some worse than others!!
