The VX lot are using stuff from Pro Alloy.

Its not cheap though.

its not just the cost of the charge cooler, buy the waterpump, radiator pipes etc....

the pre rad,the charge cooler, the pump, the header... soon adds up and winds up costing a **** load, but its better than an FMAC :) (yes A not I)

WTA is more efficient at cooling than ATA though. Plus you can have a better inlet tract. Worth the cost IMO

the only thing with the focus ones is the radiator is huge, ill dig out the pics of the one i fitted to a mk2 fiesta

this is after shortening it 4 inchs

and the actual charge cooler isnt exactly small either

it was a very tight fit to say the least

There's an ST185 RC chargecooler setup on ebay at the moment for a very respectable start price. Comes with an electric pump too.

I didnt realise they went to chargecooler for the RS.... perhaps it solved a lot of other issues for them lol

Sounds like he built a tank.. I've heard of rads being welded together within a box.... :roll:

mine runs a chargecooler cost a fortune but you'll need a decent pump and pre rad

much worse looking than a simple ATA item but charge temps when mapping in 32degree dyno room were kept around 26-27 :)

an ata wouldve increased alot
