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.

I was hoping by now that one of our resident saleman or Ford peps would've jumped on and confirmed, but not yet. 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.

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. hmmm

Could 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.

radiators have been using plastic tanks fitted to aluminium cores for quite a few years now and at more pressure than most would run through a standard intercooler, anyone running high boost would most likely fit an aftermarket cooler.

The core does the cooling so as long as the plastic tanks hold the pressure they should be fine.

Mick it looks like Ford may have binned them anyway and gone back to the original alloy version on 2011 builds - still trying to confirm.

Short of photos, plant tours, bill of materials, what more confirmation would you like?

bunna

you might need to clarify where and what company you work for. Just for the un informed

I'm not on here representing anyone, so I tend to tiptoe around it :buttonit: , but you might say I work where the meadows are very wide, some would describe them as broad.

:innocent:

But I've done my homework and eyeballed a few more (brand new) examples, all with plastic end tanks.
