Going to need a heat exchanger for my turbo soon cause I've heard and seen the horror stories with the milkshake.I am looking at the pwr exchanger but heard people are running an air to air setup in the front guard. Wondering about the advantages and disadvantages, and any recommendations on which exchanger to use.Thanks-- Also, sorry if there is another thread like this. Looked through search but on my phone atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how true but it looks good installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to have more surface area than the stock unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on my lunch break when I wrote and didnt read what I typed. But hopefully people know what I meant.Did a little bit of digging around the ford forums aswell. Was a couple of links on there about the pwr exchanger but cant find them in my search history atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
