It's single pass for a start and the outlets don't come out at an angle like the ones made for an rst.....if you know someone handy with a tig welder and don't mind cutting and shutting it could fit but how well it would work you'd only know once you'd done all the work and tested it.

baffles me why people would consider buyin a pace double capacity cooler when full front mounts are just a few quid more! like cutting off your nose to spite your face, not to mention retarded!

unless of course they are finding them cheap and 2nd hand, to which i wil beg the question why are they for sale and why so cheap? owner got a front mount now? engage your brain much?

also baffling is how the dude is raving about them (clearly on commision from pace id say), yet id gladly bet he does not have an ACT gauge to even check the charge temps. run massive boost it may well do yes, keep down temps id safely say not

i wonder how comparative a helper monkey blowing on a standard 'cooler wud be to a pace double capacity

half pace 1st come out in the ealry 90s. when thats all you had to use or a c-c at 800 pounds when they 1st come out. in the last 8 years they have moved on a great deal grs being one of the 1st to try a front mount late 99 iirc on c&b and matt bell.. then pace brought out the since pass front mount which is a top bit of kit. i could go on and on about this but i will not

People buy them because some people dont want front mounts, and are also not stupid enough to run massive amounts of boost through them as 90% of people know they are not up to the job of running massive boost due to high act's, i have had pace on 4 out of my 13 rst's and i choose to run 11/12 psi and my act's are fine, but i have also had the front mounts,. pro-alloy and grs, and they are both awesome in running big power and keeping more than safe act's as well as looking good too, so if he wants to run stupid boost and have high act's and fuck his engine then let him he will soon learn the hard way!!!!!!!!!!

This post was originally put up by paul on behalf of one of our friends who needed to make the decision either the double capaicty or the front mount one. He has now ordered the Pro Alloy front mount one just to be safe.

As for a few quid more, its additional £160 between the two pro alloy ones but you do get twin fans with the front mount kit

How much is it total m8? Also, i dont really like the openmouthed look and would like a more subtle look hence why i was thinking of a double capacity instead of a front mount.Can u still fit a front mount without hacking the bumper? If so, doesnt it get a bit hotter as there will be no direct air getting to the rad as intercooler will be in the way.
