Looking to fit it on to my FG MKII turbo ute.These are the specs as per the thread in this section:FG - Ford XR6T 370 x 255 x 55mm = 5189 cm3 (Factory)FG - FPV F6 370 x 380 x 45mm = 6327 cm3 (Factory)I see that the F6 cooler is wider but thinner. What benefit does that have?Would it be able to handle mods up to 300rwkw?I would be getting injectors, pipe kit, tune etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure you could just keep your one. I don't think the F6 one is much better than yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's good too know that I can feed more power into it at later date if I want. Knowing me, I will want to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
