Maybe too much boost or age, i would say that alot of car's are running around on old coolers now that were fitted a decade ago.

I just bought a 70mm Air-tec cooler and it works very well.

they are not the best with high boost and tend to bow hence the strip at the front of the pace ones

they are much the same the differents is not really anothe to buy one over the other, look for following edges not sharp ones,and as for thinking thick is best it dont work that way as thick they are the more heat they can hold and longer for heat transfer, paces ones do bow but this dont affect the performance and this dont happen over night, it also all about whats going on inside the tube as they are not hollow, but at the end of the day you need to choose what YOU want as so many people have had this talk and the out comes are allways different, and everyone likes something else but remember cheap aint best the what do people use on the race cars, my choice would be pace then pro alloy , happy choosing and enjoy what ever you buy
