Default Which intercooler??

Which intercooler do people reccommend out of the ones below?

I will eventually be looking to take my series 2 up to about 220 - 230bhp.

Radiator is standard but would eventually be replaced with an alloy one

GRS



Pace



Pro Alloy



Radtec

I have always thought GRs were good, and Graham is a top bloke. But, you must remember he makes these coolers in his spare time and there is a bit of a waiting list in weeks for his coolers. The guys at pro alloy really know there stuff and after speaking to them at the shows I may be tempted for the 2nd generation cooler setup, they are proven in all the mags and getting bigger. Oh and they are just down the road from me

Yup evo 5 is already available i spoke to stewart this morning the intake pipe has been made longer and the end tanks are now one piece of aluminium, the height has been shorted slightly so bonnet closes more easily.

Still same price as old evo 4
