I was one of those 'people'these coolers cool well enough for 300rwkw.... in a Melbourne winter.I fitted a process west after that and havnt looked back, you can get a pw stage 1 or one of Rap1d's kits for under $1k that will do the job.but if you're only chasing 250rwkw a DDS/Wog/Monza mite be alright if you dont mind a bit of heatsoak in any season other than winter...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

You need to remember that a cooler will mean a Flash tuner, or a retune if you already have one costing money.Some people will buy several bits, have them installed and then get a tune, rather than one at a time, saving tuning $'s. You can get good results by buying carefully, but cutting corners will cost you a lot if you blow up your motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may take a while for something to turn up, but you will save some dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As everyone else has said, save up and buy a proper cooler. Edited 25/12/08 10:30 AM by Fat-Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
