I already been advised by the guys on here that the pace double capacity intercooler isn't great so my question is what about air tec double capacity intercooler?

Has anybody had any experiance of these?

Cheers

What power are you running? imo there's nothin wrong with one of the small pace jobs for 14psi 170bhp sort of power, but if you're wanting more power than that full frontal for sure, i'd save up and get a GRS though!

The airtec full frontal is good value for money considering it comes with the fans and all that. The GRS is highly recommended by alot of these guys on here, but you'll have to buy fans seperately with the GRS, and to be fair, the fans aint cheap!

Im getting the Airtec Full Frontal to replace my double capacity Pace cooler.
