purely a temporary measure only ladies neither me or karl want our cars in bits to measure up to make the custom cooler for it so that will be done over winter when the car aiont used as much, this will suffice until then



ps didnt expect that did you stretch

would just like to say this thing fits like a glove

but if your fitting it on your own with no 4 post ramp it fits like an obnoxious irritating fiddly wanker style glove

no mods required, straight in...............well 2 hours of "straight in"

no mate no bending beating hammering etc top fitment, spot on

did you ever get it fitted properly then? how did it perform at what boost? does an increased capacity cooler make it laggier?

I have both the Radtec and the Forge rs500 spec coolers, I actually (and so does my tuner and outhers here) Like the Forge one better. It's thicker, a little bit deeper.

Eric,

Really? I've measured them, the core on the forge is thicker!(width) by 1/2 inch, the (height) is also abit taller. The Radtec one's bar is very square and the Forge one is a little rounded(between the fins). Are the New one's NOW the same? what is the overall Length,height,width of the Radtec now then?.

boost now peaks off the defi ALL gears, holds 2 bar until over 6500rpm, had act's no higher than 45c nailing it from 2nd upwards to about 135 revving to 7kmax

been out ragging about pretty much all neet, even let timberley taste some power goes better than before with this cooler on, water temps are a little higher when your slow moving in traffic but no diff at all driving normally or caning it well happy with it
