Hi,

Difficult one for you all, I am thinking about upgrading the intercooler on my series 1 turbo. It currently has a pace dual core one that sits in the standard place, I am currently running 180 ish bhp at the flywheel with unlimited boost chip (running 14 psi though), cam, 3 inch exhaust and kn filter. Was thinking about a front mount cooler from autospecialists with the slimline fans.... anyone had one of these? can it be kept looking standard? I want to keep it looking standard but also want to keep the act's low as poss? any idea's?

cheers

 

i quite like the look or the pace item got good results on the tests aswell

 

A friend of mine is using a auto specialist cooler. You cant really see it thought the bumper with the fans fitted aswell.

Seems to work ok too

 

ive got a pro alloy on mine and you cant see it unless the grill is off

 

my grs works very well and just fits

 

I would personally go with the GRS

 

the grs looks a bit small to me

ive got a radtec one on my s1

 

do you mean the pro alloy?
the grs is huge

 

Here's the S1 GRS

 

what mods are neede to fit the grs cooler?

 

None really. Just a bit of messing about with the rad and brackets

 

You pretty much see it from the picture. The panel in between the bumper and the IC has been trimmed and bent forward to make room for the fans.

 

ment the pro alloy one

the grs looks the same size as the radtec

 

are the radtec and proalloy twin pass intercoolers...I believe the GRS is

 

GRS is a twin pass, proalloy is single pass, Radtec is a copy of the GRS - twin pass
