Default Cossie IC question...........
Would you go for a genuine RS500 jobby,

OR,

A PRO alloy version??

I can have both (big thanks to "you know who you are")

So what would you go for then guys???

The genuine item must be a good piece of kit,as it was designed for the car,but the pro aloy 1`s have been selling like hot cakes....

Hoses are more or less sorted..But with the price of the cooler/hoses it does work out more than the pro alloy 1,but thats why ive started the thread,which is the better cooler.......

has no-one done a PROPER test on the 500 coolers? Loaded in say fourth at peak power for a decent length of time. Best cooler wins

no they only seem to do tests upto 100mph, which is useless.


they need a big bhp car/or one with hi act, and do back to back runs till the act peaks and stops risin
