Radtec does a 60mm cooler for the saff



and on Escos they do a 50mm (or 60mm if you get the rad aswell which i have on my car) and they fit perfectly on to original holes on the chassis rail as they had my car in for the the jig.

so it's down to price

Cheers

Daniel

Ive got the full pro alloy set up on my saph and all the fittments and everything were spot on and it all works very well.

Didnt Performance ford do an intercooler test and the pro alloy one came out better

I though they did
