Default Max boost on standard charge cooler?

Hi, had a little search on google but not found much set in stone.

Will a Standard charge cooler set up of a focus RS safely and efficiently deal with 20psi boost?

thanks.

Should be ok. Can never tell till you try. If driven Hard, obviously the charge temps will go up.
Tim B uses the standard setup with a bigger tank in the boot I think, and his gets used pretty hard.

Be fine mate - I'm sure there are some up to 400hp still running the charge cooler.

If its a strong unit still then you'll be fine

It's fine. Obviously CTs will rise but if it's just for the occasional blat, no issue

They soon come back down
