Why did Ford choose to use a Charge Cooler on the FRS rather than an Intercooler? Was it just for packaging purposes or is there any other benefit.

The only other advantage I could come up with was in a front end bump an intercooler can get damaged and let the turbo suck in a load of crap.

Any Ideas?

I've wondered this too mate, all the big boys swap for an intercooler when they get to 300bhp+ so I guess it must of been a cost thing for Ford?
