thats the trouble I remember reading the articles, cant find the old mag though Pro alloy were top but AH were second as I remember? was the only reason Pro alloy won was because of the finish as the performance was identical between a couple of them? I could really do with the actual results and write up as most comments have been useless on here- bitches Also Lee Catermole on here actually switched to a Pro alloy after the testing at MSD. are feature cars given engine bay items or are the prices cut massively as its a good ad. for the cooler manufacturer by any chance as thats how it is starting to read? I should re phrase the title question to - "If you were buying a new 500 size cooler with your own cash full price, which is best value?"

My 600bhp+ Pro Alloy intercooler needed attenion with an anglegrinder to fit at all.. The duckting in the front of the cooler was way of, and most of it had to be cut away..
The ProAlloy rad, fans and turbocooler had some very marginal brackets and holes were not pre-drilled.

My expirience is that ProAlloy may be good, but not as faultless as some on this board would like to think!

tey were superb when they were new design but many have suffered from bulges at 500bhp and 30psi use and are not as efficient as the very best new cores that AH fabrication and Pro alloy use, Pace quality however always looked spot on though- they just need a revamp IMO

Here is what 30+ psi boost from a T4 does to a Pace intercooler:









They don't like it up 'em

Pro alloy, every day of the week! had a one off rad and intercooler set up for my nova turbo which had an early sport bumper! very tight fit due to space but it fitted perfect and the quality was perfect, almost too good!

Thats where the pugworth is going too!
