Pace is the only one off the shelf that is single pass. It is better because it is much easier for air to flow through it. Air flow ability is MUCH more important than cooling ability.

You ask for opinions..

GRS is the best avilable. FACT.




Best value for money, and if in the event of any problems the after sales is second to none.

Unlike the other top name Intercoolers who will mess you around for weeks without any help unless you get on their case.

The cooling fins on the GRS intercoolers are like none other! Have a look yourself.

PACE no if's why's buts or maybe's. Simply one of the best bits I've added to my car. No regrets at all and am looking at buying a second one to go on my Fiesta if I can make it fit

will the triple cossie one fit as easily as the grs and what is the price difference does anyone know.

pace looks good but its the best part of 550 isnt it? that's a hell of a lot of money
