It's personal preference what one you go with. I would be doing the cooler if I was you. With the mods that you said you were going to do you should see some nice results and a cooler will help on those hot days.Get rid of the stock cross over and go with a full cooler kit. There wouldn't be much point in doing just the piping and keeping the stock cooler.

Guest Al@n Guests Posted 12/11/09 09:58 AM Share Posted 12/11/09 09:58 AM that's interesting, but understandable that an aftermarket cooler may be illegal. Although I would not think that an F6 cooler would be. So what benefit would an F6 cooler give. What percentage is it larger and what does this equate to in RWKW, Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/63436-cooler-and-piping-advice/#findComment-953250 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent cooler is probably the best thing you can do for your turbo followed closely by a decent exhaust system Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/63436-cooler-and-piping-advice/#findComment-953253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
