Default Best intercooler for my s2??

Right i have s2 escort running a 1900cvh, in bits at to moment as im waiting on my stage 3 big valve head.

I have a pace double capacity intercooler on it and i was wondering if this is efficent enough or am i better off buying a front mount?

I have seen airtec's and radtec's for around £300, are these any good or am i better off saving for a pro alloy or grs etc? Looking for around 270 -280bhp.

Thanks James

GRS are the best But the FMIC airtec is very good mate

IMO value for money airtec win's hand's down If u have plenty to splash out then GRS

i put a cossy rwd i/cooler on mine,cut the ends off,welded up the inlet/outlet pipes so they come out straight back,then just cut and reverse the charge pipe,works real good,cores are shit hot......and when you go monster power,just weld another on top.....simples.....get em for peanuts too,just the welding is extra,just my opinion mind.........
