As to the power gains, well that's not just a result of the cooler but requires some decent tuning as well. Little bit cooler air charge temp allowing a couple more degrees here and there ...perhaps. The issue for me was repeatibility and reliability of performance, which a large core I/c can provide with propoer choice, fitment and tuning.Dingah←close price wise.. I dont think so.as for the original question at hand.. ring PWR, talk to them and demand to talk to someone that can give you the answers to your questions. I also chose my cooler for the same reasons as dingah did "repeatability and reliability of performance" but not only those factors came into play. I also took into consideration the price Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27902-pwr-coolers/page/3/#findComment-426264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly I believe if the end tanks are larger than 82mm that is when problems occur.Also for anyone who can share pictures of the PWR ic installed or even a side by side comparision it would be greatly appreciated Cheers Edited 24/08/06 09:10 AM by byi Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27902-pwr-coolers/page/3/#findComment-426300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older PWR coolers needed to have ground out the bumper support, however the brand new versions they have modified the end tanks so they actually fit (funny they have a BF Turbo at their head office, they must have figured this out when the tried fitting one) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27902-pwr-coolers/page/3/#findComment-426431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
