Default T25 intercooler upgrade with aircon?

I know that the RS500 charge coolers will not fit without the removal of the aircon bits but is there a way to improve the efficiency of this intercooler. Will the chargecooler from the large turbo fit, then fitting an upgrade like thePace one, or are we looking at a water spray system directly onto the intercooler itself?

You can fit the RS500 with AC but you have to modify the lines and where it mounts to the front sub frame. I've seen it done a plan to do mine also.

You can fit the standard large turbo one as a straight swap - all you need is the intercooler (I have a mint one for sale ), and the hoses off a LT car (available from Ford). I did this to my car when it was only running 400bhp and also fitted the cold water seperation kit - worked a treat .
