Default RS500 coolers

Gonna buy one for the saff but not sure which one to get as there's different makes etc. I've got a standard turbo and stage 1. Will probably go stage 2/3 at some point but can't see me getting a bigger turbo just replacing the one I have with a new one.
Any recommendations then dudes, Radtec, Pace, Forge etc.

cheers

Get a Pro Alloy one. Expect your boost to rise by a couple of PSi though

Excellent cooler

Pro Alloy all the way and judging by the stack of RS500 Coolers that I saw there the other day, Ford Fair would be the place to get one!!!

No idea never seen a single bill for the Sierra ever. Just gets upsetting if you actually see what you spend! For the same reason I never check my bank statements

Proalloy one easily beat the Pace on in Performance Fords test didn't it?

Just get the Proalloy one! It will be awesome on your car and is beautifully built!



Convinced yet?
