I also have the standard s2 intercooler and the pace one. Question is what is best for keep the temps down?

I'm on mobile so hard to use search.

Cheers
Simon

Standard is crap.

The Pace it depends what Pace one it is. The double capacity one is supposed to be crap.

Airtech, not the best made and quite heavy but apparently they work quite well for what they are.

Out of the 3 standard is rubbish, pace interwarmer not much better but the airtec front mounts do the job perfectly well

Bumper was cut out in mine when I got it but I'm now putting the fans on the radiator so they're between the rad and intercooler.

That's a twin pass airtec you may find with your lever if tune that the single pass pace will be better for you, did a load of testing with them when they bough the new full width single pass ones out we had a pace, one of the ones you have and a newer style single pass

This was the least efficient as it suffered more heat soak being twin pass like a GRS etc etc

But a newer one you won't regret it
