EZY10S Member 6 Member For: 14y 5m 3d Posted 19/07/10 10:40 AM Share Posted 19/07/10 10:40 AM (edited) I ordered my pwr fg cooler off luke@pwr. . The piping and intercooler are seperate part numbers, so I bought the cooler first and a few weeks later bought the pipe kit. It was 990 for cooler and 825 for the black powder coated pipe kit with all clamps and all silicon. Or less a few bucks for both at once. I fitted the cooler on the garage floor in an hr going steady. No hoist. All slid up from under neath. The cooler came with fitting instructions and was pretty simple to fit. The pipes took about an hour also. They came with fitting instruction too. Also done on the garage floor.

Also, I'm running the V8 lower air box so trying to confirm that the stepped cooler and PWR's pipe kit will clear underneath the snork/box connection (cold side pipe) as she's a tight fit. I know some have run into trouble here with other cooler/pipe combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on the Gold Coast so will go and see them at the factory. I don't want to cut my car so this is the only real option. I'm not chasing big power either and this cooler is rated to 450kw. The factory turbo will run out of puff way before then. It's really just the heat thing for me being in Qld. As anyone that owns one of these things knows, it's like a different car with the cool night air. I just want that more often! Cheers, Bomber.

Member 1,008 Member For: 14y 10m 25d Gender: Male Posted 30/12/10 10:02 AM Share Posted 30/12/10 10:02 AM (edited) look at it this way, I had the hid kit and sold it to fit this....it may perform slightly better at very high boost levels, but it comes at the expense of A LOT of metal cutting, not to mention a sh*t load of plastic that has to be chopped up toothe herrod pipes are $450 and can bolt up to the stock cooler untill you get a new one, and the cooler was $990if you like look up the hdi fitting instructions and see for yourself... definitely not more solid when you chop off the upper factor mounts and cut up the radiator support brackets....also the few people with big power who had the hdi kit have also since upgraded to a better cooler..I was sold on it, hence the reason I brought it, on the reason you mentioned and the hdi clamps, then I recieved it looked at the install instructions and quickly changed my mind......the reason why I went the PWR isnt just for insurance reasons etc... its that the stock cooler can be fitted straight back in no issues and you'll never know it had any after market parts in it ever...
