Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 15y 22d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 13/02/13 12:14 PM Share Posted 13/02/13 12:14 PM The full furious kit for FG is $800. Steve asked me how much I thought and I told him that anything on the fat side of $500 will start to lose interest. I would stretch to $700 myself for a fully engineered heat exchanger kit. For that coin though, it must be like a factory fit. No bending up brackets and hacking inner guards and stuff. Just click click done.

mrxd Member 74 Member For: 12y 7m 23d Gender: Male Posted 13/02/13 09:58 PM Share Posted 13/02/13 09:58 PM Cheaper than a milkshake. I'd hope they provide some stats on how quick it gets up to temp compared with the OEM exchanger.
