Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 9m 17d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 19/02/11 06:25 AM Share Posted 19/02/11 06:25 AM It's an upgrade, but not much of an upgrade... Uses the stock piping, however if you want 300 you might have to upgrade some of it cause it will blow apart with any more than 12psi (the piping that is...)

I was making just 300rwkw on the XR standard cooler but if you want better consistancy in warmer weather then a bigger aftermarket item is the go.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73368-fg-f6-cooler-upgrade-for-xr6t/#findComment-1082456 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If doing it for looks and get one cheap then ok, otherwise just do a pipe kit and tune. I've tuned mine (270rwkw) but summer in Qld has killed the performance so intend to do the PWR stepped cooler and pipe kit. I'm not chasing big power either, just want to improve it over stock and remove the puss hoses for reliabilty.
