Learnt my lesson the 1st time. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81765-rapidsystems-v25/page/2/#findComment-1290048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Kosij got some good details though.Also if I had the chance to get the small Rapid cooler I'd go that one over the big one for 300kw as cutting the front was a pain in the ass.

Good entry level kit for the money but I would spend just a few more $ and get the Plazmaman Pro Street bar & plate core if you couldn't afford a Process West stage 2 or a Plazmaman 1000hp kit..my 2c Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81765-rapidsystems-v25/page/2/#findComment-1290227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
