What's out there that is a worthwhile upgrade? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49673-best-intercooler-retaining-stock-piping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 12/09/08 08:18 AM Share Posted 12/09/08 08:18 AM My money would be on the Plazmaman or PW stage 1 coolers PWR have had some good results also but they're a little bit pricey iirc??

They look good...... BUT...How does the piping run below the intercooler and still fit inside the bumper???

ORSM4L Member 2 Member For: 17y 6m 25d Posted 12/09/08 09:11 AM Share Posted 12/09/08 09:11 AM You see the monza coolers pop up quite a bit. Are they any chop, or are they $200 wasted? Is there anything in the lower price bracket that is ok?

What about an under battery pipe?$925 gets you the intercooler core, 1 intercooler pipe to the inlet of the intercooler + one custom made section of silicon hose to join the intercooler to the factory cast aluminium under battery pipe...if you want to upgrade the under battery pipe add $165.This is the largest "stage 1" (retains factory engine bay look) intercooler on the market.Kev Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49673-best-intercooler-retaining-stock-piping/#findComment-732700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend them. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49673-best-intercooler-retaining-stock-piping/#findComment-734867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
