which is best...????!!!! all the well specced rs's seem to go for nice fat front cooler with fans etc but the decent charge coolers seem to be around twice the price-ish!! does a charge cooler do the job just as well/better as a full front cooler..???

 

intercoolers:
cheaper
no maintenance

chargecooler
expensive
extra parts to maintain
heavier
extra battery drain due to required pump

no brainer quite honestly!

 

I'm taking the charge cooler off my Fiest atoday and replacing it with an intercooler

 

charge cooler for short limited bursts only IMO. as soon as the water heats up it takes ages to cool off again.

 

so why are they so expensive then..??!!!!!

 

cos they contain a lot of parts ! the cooler itself,the rad for the water,the pump,and all the pipe work!
