Obviously if you are running the T3 very hard, the charge temps can get quite high with the 2wd item so an Rs500 item would be better in that instance, but personally Id rather have the better response of the 2wd cooler and little lower boost. Overall more pleasant to drive.

cheers for the info karl ,stage one 280 will be the max put through the car.

I have dyno printouts from before and after done on the same rollers but obviously on different days and it gained 25lb/ft of torque, power stayed the same.

Didn't really notice it having more lag?

If you don't want the 500 cooler definitely use a 4x4 over the tiny 2wd
the car in question is only stage one sunday driver ,so he just wants a nice punchy driver but nothing over the top

thanks for the info ,25lb/ft was a nice bonus with the 500 cooler
