Default rst front mount

just upgraded to a airtech front mount cooler and rad, ive found that even with the twins fans they seem to stay in longer when the car is stood still but i take it this is due to the intercooler covering the rad and the fans being confined behind the front bumper as its a tight squeeze to get them in ?

Yes mate. Unfortunate byproduct of fitting a full size front mount.

Not much you can do but making sure your cooling system is in peak condition will help.

they might be made in china but lets face it what isnt !, as for the welds they are spot on i'll take some pics to prove it, they are good quality and the kit fits very well, your talking shite, you might find a handfull of people might agree with you but to be honest how many thousands have they sold mate and the website is always out of stock,

In a word bullshit i had a Pro alloy cooler on my series 1 running 220bhp with astronomical ACTs i orderd a GRS cooler but they was a 2 months waiting list so got a air tech for the time being this was last summer and the air tech one is still on and the GRS sold to a mate mine has been spot on and as for the welds been done by stevie wonder again bullshit IMO the quality of my air tech stands up to the previous poor performance Pro alloy

But only My oppinion and speaking from experiance as ive had both fitted
