What about AH Fabrications? Absolutely fantastic stuff!!

I'd say either AH or Pro Alloy. Both do coolers and rads, proven in motorsport applications!!!

roosie,,,, is this for a 1000bhp cossie ?

just wondering what you mean by proven results and why ?

radtecs work very well but the pro alloy ones look pretty,,,, is that what you mean ?

grs used to be the best intercooler for the erst for years,,, even though they all over heated,,,, but everyone still swore by them,,, then pro alloy became famous and everyone recomends them now.....

theres a i/c on ebay that a few people are using, costs fuck all and gets god results,,,, this is on normal peoples cars not the big bhp power boys,,,, so proven results means they all work apart from the banana pace ones,,,,, that everyone used for years till others came available ,,,, i had a banana pace one in my stage 3 27psi held cossie that leaned on the injectors at top gear and my pistons had no det on them at all,,,, fuck knows the act though to be fair

As rare as rocking horse shit and they are made out of plastic which means they don't have the bling factor

AH fabrications, if its good enough for WRC and BTCC boys, they are good enough for a road car- i have had 2 of the 500 coolers, and smashed my 2wd saff up with one in the front of the car.... the pace ally rad was a mess, totally fooked, the AH intercooler just bent a bracket and was fine .... considering that the rad was behind the cooler I think that shows how well they are made.... Very good product, I bought mine from Ian@Racetek, numbers in my sig
