Well I believe there’s not much difference because the charge cooler on it is a v.good unit. But if you’re running big power or track daying the car I think it might be worth it. Am considering doing it to mine but as winters here think I’ll wait till spring as the weathers cold and shouldn’t affect the temps to much I think.
I’ve had a look at the Pro Alloy 1 which look good but also u’ll be paying for the name, Auto Specialists do one which is very similar tho. Decisions Decisions

There are 3 different Uprated Chargecooler systems for your car:
*Pro-Alloy
*Radtec
*Airtec.

Its worth knowing that they will NOT increase your cars power, at all.

For everyday driving, having one won't really feel any different, over standard. However, on a hot sunny day, and mild use on a track they will bring the temps down quicker than a standard unit, thus keeping the car cooler.

Air-2-Air systems are only going to help you, if your tracking the car loads as it replaces the exisiting chargecooler setup and frees up the flow of air loads better.

Only go Air-2-Air if your gonna track it IMO.
