depends on boost level thats getting put through it,the pro alloy single pass will flow better than the grs at lower boost levels but grs will maintain better charge temps at higher boost

though am sure more than a bar and the pro alloy cant cope so better off with the grs front mount

I have airtec with no problems and 267bhp. ACT usually +10 to +15 over ambient temp even in dynorun.
If you want decent intercooler with good value for your money airtec is what you want.

Why is it everyone else including christian and micky who probably know more than all of us posted on this page put together except you agree with grs???????? It has been proven time and time again that GRS work the best at higher power and higher boost, so sorry you are wrong airtec are not the one to have at all.

I said it was better value for money in my option. I know someone want to spend more money to ic than i. But i am happy with airtec for my purpose and it is well enough for my spec & power.

What is with all the fucking attitude on here???!!

The Airtec is a good budget alternative and has been proven to hold good ACT's, also the Radtec is another very good IC but is a similair price to the GRS, all depends on your budget.

The actual question karlos was grs or pro alloy, airtec wasnt even mentioned in the blokes original post thats all and yes airtec are good for the money and hold good act's as you say but airtec being good wasn't the original question just pointing out a fact thats all sorry if i upset anyone!!!!!
