Default Airtec 70mm Intercooler

Has anybody got one fitted to a cossie ?

How well does it fit ?

Did you do any Air Charge Temp readings ?

Had mine on all season and it's been lovely.

I had a AH fabrications one before which was good. The airtec cooler Has been more efficient,

And the fit is perfect

I have the 70mm version my ACT's on the rollers were around 26/27C with a controlled cell temp of 18C, at 18psi boost, even after 10-15 secs 100% throttle, repeatedly.

To be honest steve i havnt used a 70mm one but a few 60mm ones that performed well enough so know the 70mm one will be good..
When i had mine built and specced by pro alloy they talked me out of the 100mm and even the 85mm one and made me a 70mm one as they said to big is as bad as too small!!!???
So i went with that and its good on my engine...i reckon on your car steve the airtech 70mm is a good choice...


cheers danny
