dont really know mate when the charge cooler pump is on it makes quite a noise, might just see if i can get a new pump, and with changing to an Alloy rad was gonna go for the discount thing if i got a intercooler aswell

there are loads of posts about this subject and you will still find that not everyone will agree!!
basically all the front mount intercooler's will do a good job and have advantages over charge coolers. personally i'd say GRS are the better but others will say different.

Fair enough with the discount idea

I have a charge cooler on my erst, the pump is completly silent running. I take the top off the reservior sometimes just to make sure the coolant is still flowing round.

i have a pro alloy intercooler and a turbo cooler!

also got a pace rad!

only tried the intercooler on it for a few weeks in the summer but couldnt comment on its performance due to running probs!

but its a well built piece of kit!

and the only mo to fit is to drill 2 holes!

a piece of cake!

also i brought a pro alloy one so i could keep me spot lamps!
