Mine was made by Tom at AVA and used my original Pro alloy cooler and a genuine 500 coole that AVA donated
it runs with 3 " pipe and pretty big end tanks.
Seems to work very well with peak ACT's this year on brunters at only 35 deg with something like 13-14deg ambients as it wasnt cold.
Last year with the normal Pro alloy only they were reaching 50 deg on a much colder day, 4 or 5 deg ambients.
Judging by these results my cooler does its job and removes the need for any kid of WI etc but its not a straight fit as the front crossmember had to be removed and altered so the cooler could fit.
I have had a convo about coolers with Alan at AVA who has tested thousands of cossies over the years on his rollers and always said the genuine one seems to be consistantly the best with the Pace being the worst and all others being somewhere in between.

to be fair to martin he was refering to the look of the radtec stuff,,, and yes it aint the same finish style as the proalloys
they are square and,, well s martin pointed out look rather normal and underated
the erst ones look like half the fucking things missing, i should know i had one and wondered where the rest of it was

Pro Alloy made all the Aluminium parts for this car,
This charge cooler is simply art work,as it is the dash in the car.
Fastest street car on block treads OUTRIGHT!!
This was ent to be at Ford Fair on the Pro alloy stand.

this really isn't about who's c*ck is bigger than who's imo is not about who supplied who with what Ah fabs- used to make everything for the scooby WRC cars till they went in house and also have the sole rights to make certain alloy parts for that new road legal F1 car.... at the end of the day imo its about price and quality i'd ring round and see who does it the cheapest out the top 3 rated companies available if it were me...

Wayne, Is there anything you can do for making a larger intercooler for the Mk2 Escort rad and IC combo ? my RS500 IC tbh is a fair bit smaller than the other 500 coolers which does concern me a little.
So far the whole lot is unfitted but I'd rather cut the car once than have to modify it in future to accept a larger cooler
Any ideas or do those coolers really do the job.
Workmanship on it though is superb
