So what would you guys recommend to me.Thanks for your replies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hdi is decent from feedback ive read, Rapidsystems are cheap (1099$) for their size and are effective but require you to butcher the bar underneath your bumper.. You could always buy an FG F6 2nd hand cooler that would do you for around that power if you really want to save money.. probably pick one up for 150-200ish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m Posted 31/07/13 03:39 AM Share Posted 31/07/13 03:39 AM Yea I think Kev's 46 is about to about 430rwkw at the momentI wouldn't buy FG as incompatible with turbo side intake and apparently they sit very low and can have issues scraping I wouldn't buy Rapid either. They're cheap and work but the amount of cutting involved is way too much. Also expect to wait and not get everything in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 11y 10m 24d Posted 31/07/13 04:21 AM Share Posted 31/07/13 04:21 AM I've been running a PW Stepped cooler for a while now and have been happy with it. With the standard fg turbo and standard cat back exhaust my car has run 122 mph at the track.I think if you're keeping the standard turbo it would be your best option if you want a cooler that's fits with no cutting and if you get it in black you can hardly notice it when looking at the car.
