    Charge Cooler?

    Chaps, need a little advice on these charge coolers. I've always been an intercooler man meself, but the need for more power increases the size of these things and hence, chopping up the front end!!

    So i'm considering a charge cooler. My engine will be running quite a bit of boost so i need a robust unit capable of decent temps (low 40's) and not cost the earth.

    The PWR units are out as they are hiddeously expensive. Can anyone recommend an alternative thats proven decent and not bank breaking? What BHP levels do these roughly cater for?

    Not a clue Chris, but certainly no where near the prices on the websites. A rated 500bhp unit for a grand!!

    If there was a cheap unit come up and it did the job i would consider it.

    No such thing as a cheap charge cooler, if you find a good cheap one pls let me know.
    Ive been quoted around £750 for one for my car. Thats the cooler on its own, ive got everything else.
