Have you planned any other mods? As far as ebay coolers go, don't spend too much on one as I don't think they're great to begin with - I think they're ok at around stock power and a little higher, but not great for much more than that. Look into some of the site sponsors and their kits such as plazmaman, rapid etc.You're better off doing a few mods at once as most changes require a tune to keep the car safe.Even a simple upgrade package would make a huge improvement - Something like injectors, Cat, fuel pump and tune would net you a decent power figure.Possibly consider an IC upgrade kit (with piping), intake, exhaust etc - Sky is the limit mate Sadly, I'm in Perth so I have no idea about good Tuners in Penrith.Good luck,Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76860-change-my-intercooler/#findComment-1139769 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search for HDISome ppl pushing them to big power and its a cheap kit the X01. Personally...id prolly take them to 300rwkw any more id go better/bigger...but that's just me, alot of ppl pushing them harder than that.A bit of chopping up your car though to fit...dunno if your keen about that?Definetly a tune.Just saw U have a BF...I read somewhere those intercoolers are harder to fit in bf more cutting or somethinglike that...I think Edited 17/09/11 02:07 PM by Garrettba03 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76860-change-my-intercooler/#findComment-1141813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have Autotech at Granville or CMS at Liverpool who I would recommend. I will be getting my car tuned there thursday.
