One of the big power S2 lads has tried both Pro Alloy and GRS and stuck with the GRS.
Think that says it all myself

Tried both myself but ended up with Pro Alloy. Both top quality products. Just wasn't right for my engine at the time.

Despite the slagging they get I have run a Pace chargecooler for the last 8 years and I really really rate it.
