Ive been looking at these for my cossie, they do a 70mm deep one but it has 55mm pipe connections for some reason. I think my old cossie had one in it and never saw high temps with it so cant be all bad.

Steve

Edit, i just phoned and they tell me its a type error and has standard 2 1/2 inch pipes

We sell Radtec Intercoolers. The S1 kit requires minimal cutting which involves trimming the back of the grille and a lip on the bumper IIRC. You cannot notice that any cutting has been done once the bonnet is closed from the outside.

They come with Twin Fans.

If you want a price, send me a PM
