Why: Because ive tested most of them back to back, one car same day personally and found them best overall "IMO".

I've got a Radtec, it's very well made and I'm very impressed with it.

It's not as 'bufty' as the pro-alloy ones tho, the finish isn't quite as high IMO but you can pick them up cheaper which makes up for it.

I don't care what my intercooler looks like, as long as it's well made and performs well.

Both Pro-Alloy & Radtec fit that criteria but the Pro-Alloy one is shinier........lol

I've got the Pro-Alloy i/c, excellent quality and finish, much better cooling. Act lowest recorded since beginning the 520bhp build. Did the job at Brunters in December! Looks cool too.
