at what point does one of these become neccessary?

i have no boost gauge on my car yet, but according to the previous owner, who had it set up by power engineering it is approx 20psi

stage 3 making 311bhp, does this sound right?

i really like the look of a pro alloy 500 cooler for my 4x4, just unsure as to how neccesary it is

what do you think, should i go for it or not? any wiser ways of spending my money, other than a boost gauge

 

500 cooler is all ways a good idea

 

is there any advantage to it? as my car stands at the moment.

Quite fancy one, keep seeing the pro alloy stuff all over passionford and the quality looks superb.

 

The cooler the air the better m8.

 

i know that

whats the limits of the 4x4 spec cooler, ie on an average day, what act's are to be expected with a 4x4, and a 500 cooler

same boost 20 ish psi?

i had an article in a old issue of PF but i gave em away when i moved

anyone know, or have access to a copy?

 

remember it has aircon, that makes it a bit tricky, but still posible

 

or just do what we do and take all the aircon out a throw it in the bin

 

standard 4x4 cooler IS good enough for what you have IMO

 

But not ideal

 

why u say that????

 

Most tuners would recomend one on a stage 2/3 car

As did fast ford this month

Not essential but recomended

 

forgot about that.

 

[quote="gingeRS"]unless you are going over 330+ I wouldn't bother again IMO

 

4x4 one is fine.

Had one on mine when i was running 21psi and charge temps were fine.
Only time it wasnt too great was a boiling hot day on track.
