Default front mounts V chargecoolers

as above, any difference in gains? i have both but dont know which to use, not going for stupid power, want to cap it at 200bhp. with the front mount do you mount the fans in front of the cooler and do i need a relay to get the kenlowes to blow at full power?

Chargecoolers are old hat mate, front mounts are the way forward for rst's. GRS if you can afford one are proven to work at various stages of tune, even at bigger bhp. Ideally you mount 2 kenlowes directly onto the rad, they will draw a fairly hefty current so you'll need to wire them via a relay yes.

There is enough room to do it mate as i have.....the cooler just needs to sit a little further forward that's all, even with the 2 fans on the rad i still have a good couple of inches gap. If you're not clued up on wiring you might want to take it to someone who knows what they're doing as it won't take them that long. Failing that have a hunt around on here using the 'search' and see if you can find a wiring diagram.
