Default has anybody used one of these?

at the mo, i'm running a pace 500 cooler and pace alloy rad, how ever the bolts that hold the rad in place have given up the ghost.
the AA had to come out to zippy clip my rad up. and do a temporary repair on the top hose. so i'm also after a blue samco hose (2wd).

hence i was looking at this..

as the rad is attached to the cooler, has any one used one? is so how was the fit? does the intercooler do a adequate job of keeping the charge temps down?, i'm running just shy of 2 bar boost.
cheeRS.

Alot of people have bought these coolers for the MR2 Turbo. Apparently the fit is rubbish, the pipe ends crack and the customer service is horrendous...


Spend a little bit more and get a better cooler
