Default 500 intercoolers

i would like to know if it is worth while fitting a 500 intercooler to my escos,
its a big turbo model running a 330bhp chip and seems to runs fine with the standard cooler,

cheers tony

You can get good results by re-plumbing the standard chargecooler so that it uses a separate water circuit (separate radiator, header tank together with electric water pump etc) instead of the engine's coolant.
