not to bad mate, you'll proberly have to cut some of the foam out of the inside of the front bumper, but take your time and you'll be fine

there are a few different types of grs coolers for the frst...some will need more cutting than others....as to your question which is better....in some people's opinion...this will depend on what boost you are running...the pro alloy one is a single pass cooler....these will struggle at high boost....where as the grs will be twin pass and be able to handle big boost better...

ah..yes but compare yours to a pro alloy ...yours goes from side to side not bottom to top...more area to travel across...im not slagging off pro alloy or single pass... i have one...but at higher boost levels a twin pass will cool more affectively..
