I sent them an email asking the question in the picture below and got this answer LOL

 

That distills confidence

 

I laughed

 

fantastic

looks like the sales exec has gone on holiday and some plonker called dave's on email reponse duty

 

It's a poo response but the intercooler is the bollocks. I wouldn't have anything else in my Escort

 

PMSL she must be joking!!!

 

Purchased one yesterday for £250
Charge carrier been welded to accomodate dump valve you see, not sure how the fitting kit works or if I even need it

 

Sell it to me as I want one for my Fiesta

 

I meant the fitting kit, not usre if I need it or not or how it works lol

Care to send me some instructions?

pretty please

 

There was a fitting guide in PF. I'll see if I can dig it up and scan it for you over the weekend

 

Cheers, will have a look see too to see if I still have it
I would assume it's the one where they tested it on Mark's car?

 

Can't remember. I know I have it upstairs in one of the boxes

 

ford call it an air duct so try with that

 

thats worrying!!

 

Just looked on webite, call it a cast alloy cross-over pipe

Oh pleeeeeeeeease

 

The sales exec is no longer there and Dave is the Boss.....

 

Pro-Alloy great customer service and you get what you want,

Mike

 

Seems strange

Is the charge carrier advertised as one of their products?

 

why should anyone but a ford geek know what a charge carrier is?

it's not a recognised term for what is just an inlet pipe

 

I wouldnt know what a charge carrier was if you asked me a couple of years ago before i joined this site, as Nick says its just a ford geek term, next you will be moaning he doesnt know what wastegate chatter is

 

Im actually laughing here at YOU LOT...

The substance passing through that pipe and into the plenum is AIR (And often oil..lol)

It cannot be deemed a CHARGE until it is mixed with FUEL, therefore that pipe is just an "air carrier" that crosses over the camcover, so i suppose it might be accurately termed a "crossover pipe" but it will NEVER be a CHARGE carrier as it can never carry a charge unless it has fuel in it. (Some 5th injectors can be mounted here, but thats not factory configuration)

 

isnt a charge carrier a copper with a summons

 

I stand corrected, the reverse "air-carrier" is a vital part of the system, instead of the stock item which sways the other direction

still need one though...

 

Exactly. Just because some Ford enthusiasts refer to it as a 'Charge Carrier' doesn't mean that everyone will know what they mean.

Similarly, if I asked you what OS you run on your PC or what a GUI is, would you know? But to a computer expert, those terms are well known and a very basic part of what you use every day!!

 

lol, i always call it the crossover pipe.

Also why i hate the term ACT
