Default oppinions on intercoolers?

i'm looking to by a new uprated intercooler and was wondering which was the best to go with and what sort of waiting list there?

i'm running stage 1 boosting at 0.8 bar.

cheers

GRS.

Usually 4 weeks or more wait though, but worth it.

I'm gonna be different and say my pro alloy one does a good job

although I have no basis of comparison other than a standard one!

My full width PACE has yet to put a foot wrong. Super low ACT's and not much hassle at all with cooling

i dont know what sort of act's am running but i had standard cooler on and then fitted a pro frount mount and especially at night when it was cold the car was distinctively quicker went from being quick to really putting a smile on my face bought it off ebay for 195quid delivered took 2 days and was top condition no bent fins and theres a polishing machine at my work so just gave it a quick touch up

id say for that boost level go for the pro alloy one,its more efficient,not as good act's as the grs but at 0.8 bar of boost your not gonna get mega high act's anyway,above about a bar of boost id defo go grs,not as efficient as the pro alloy but defo outperforms it charge temps wise

also the pace one is good as its single pass and has good act's but im sure its pricey
