This is the best intercooler I have ever tested through out the testing the max increase in inlet temp was 10c at the end on a 30mph run to 178mph,
It was running 2.6bar on a GT35 and the other runs to 150mph we saw 5 to 7c max increase I am stunned at how well they work.
Flow trough the intercooler is improved also due to the entrance in to it being much better as its not hitting a dead stop entrance to the intercooler on the current 500intercoolers I can see a lot of copies coming out in the near future.
mark would this type of intercooler have such a large impact on cars running between 400 to 500 bhp

If you look at the Intercooler giving you a large chunk of power at topspeed for all of £250 over the cost of the normal type one.

does thta mean the ah and radtec ones i have should be in the for sale section,as the specr one will keep my temps down thus adding a bit on longevity to my 205 block 450/500 bhp engine to be in g88 mark?

Was only messing mate. I agree about selling the escort as it would have killed you or made you bankrupt but the Evo was a proper lovely car and if it ended up at 500/600 bhp you would have loved it

Yes rich but had desided to get away from this moddifing lark it was taking up to much money and before time the Evo would of gone the same way, hence the purchase of the E46 cab,

you KNOW the Evo would have become a modding nightmare!
once you have the bug you cant stop yourself!
I've spent over £20k on that bloody Clio now... NOT including what I gave you for it

thats some impressive spending there porkie!
can gains be seen with these intercoolers at lower amounts of boost say 1.6 to 1.8bar!
dont mind spending the extra assuming they are ore efficient, could probably get away with a smaller cooler!

Ok I'm tempted by a change of cooler, that inlet sweep is superb, uncompromised. Love it! Is there one recommended for a stg 3 cossie by spec-R with the bar and plate core and swept tank tubes but it doesn't need to be quite so thick does it?

Dave, the CSLs are a lot more money, and you wont really notice that much improvement unless youre already driving the normal one near its limits.
stick with the normal one, drive it like you stole it and then when you write it off just buy another one and STILL be better off moneywise than if you bought a CSL
