Most people dislike charge coolers and will take a proper intercooler over one every time. I've run a charge cooler for 10 years now (Pace) and can't fault it - I'd take one of those over a bigger intercooler but that's down to my personal choice.

think intercoolers have improved over the last 10 years

Without a doubt, no question of that - I still prefer charge coolers, but as I say that's my own preference. They fit without any modifications, which whilst some do fit the same alot require bodywork to get them in - and I'm not hacking a car about for that.

Have run both on my RS Turbo's and the chargecooler does have it's merits but a decent intercooler wins out everytime for me.

An RS Turbo knocking on 300bhp I would think a large intercooler from the likes of GRS or Pro-Alloy is about your only option. My Fiesta's PACE chargecooler was struggling at just over 200bhp

it mite b dif on a s2 i have a s1 and i have a pace intercooler were the standard one goes but its a triple core but it just does not get enough air round by that area as s1 front ends are dif to s2 with grill etc

Oranoco

Which Pace as they do 2 a double capacity job that's only marginally better than standard or the big bugger?

I use the big one and it cools my 25psi perfectly well and the water injection I was running to assist with charge temps has become redundant

The one tha replaces standard one not the big one

wouldn't waste my time with the smaller type
