Default chargecooler/intercooler??

does anyone use a charge cooler with a front mounted intercooler?

would there be enough drop in temp to justify using both??

there was a bloke with a series 1, proper all stell, making 300 bhp,
he had a charge cooler in the conventional place, then a inter cooler mounted scooby style a the back of the bay with a bonnet scoop, and water injection,


evn at full boost after a top speed run he was geting max temps of around 19- 20 degrees,

totall over kill though,
front mounts are better now, if your really worried, get co2 spray bar (or crygen ball or water injection
