Performance Ford Intercooler Test
Hi People,
Mag delivery is delayed a bit here in Aus, could anyone summarise the results of the intercooler comparison please ? I have read bits and peices of opinion here but can't find a link to a discussion on this actual test,
regards Paul

they said that they prefer the pro alloy one because at certain temps it beat the Radtec cooler by a half a C but the Radtec had the best overall temp drop of the group and they are about Ł50 to Ł70 cheaper.

Thanks very much everyone, hope I haven't started something here...certainly the ambients and changes in temp seem to suggest the test wasn't under well controlled conditions so as to compare apples with apples, or did I miss something by just reading the summaries posted ?
I had always believed genuine 500 coolers to be the way to go, nothings seems to prove otherwise. Edit, I'm sure the rest are great, but better than genuine ??
