Default cooler

it's a full front intercooler and for £15 i think it's worth a pop especially if it gets the act down

full front it may be but is ment to fit a ford

imo the only i/c that works well is the 2wd or 4wd coolers but you need to mod them big time to fit

for £15 its worth a pop- best thing to do is measure it and do it that way, alot of these types of mods will be more trouble than there worth though
alex- wots whether its mean't to fit a ford got to do with it??
don't intercoolers on all turbo cars do the same thing
