Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 15y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 08/02/11 08:49 AM Share Posted 08/02/11 08:49 AM I think you'd have a case. Mind you, I still haven't confirmed that they are actually doing this. My dealer had no stock today and he didn't know. However, the many photos on carsales/carpoint suggest 2011 builds will have the alloy cooler reinstalled.I do agree that for decent power ups you'd bin them both. I will stick with a pipe kit for now but have decided on the PWR stepped cooler 'cause I aint cutting my car. Cheers, Bomber.

All I'm going off is the many 2010 listed new T's (post 50th anniversary) on carsales/carpoint with zero or delivery k's that clearly show an alloy cooler. When I saw it again and again from different dealers, it seemed unlikely that they're all using old photos - look for yourself.

bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 9m 18d Posted 09/02/11 11:40 AM Share Posted 09/02/11 11:40 AM So your only evidence is pictures on the web? Bit early to be starting the bashing I would've thought (or was it "dumb"?)From the photos I can see on carsales it would seem that we're also fitting plastic tanks to G6E turbos in 2011 - so two levels of cooler for the same engine. hmmmCould it not actually be that the photos on the web are of old level vehicles? Heck - there's one there of a nitro car in a showroom which is clearly a very early build FG (2008) and to make it even more authentic it includes pictures of a G6E turbo ICC. And the cherry on top would be that we're actually fitting plastic tanked coolers to cars on line right now, and have been since they were introduced early last year.

Just for the un informedI'm not on here representing anyone, so I tend to tiptoe around it , but you might say I work where the meadows are very wide, some would describe them as broad. But I've done my homework and eyeballed a few more (brand new) examples, all with plastic end tanks.
