Best intercooler for FRST?
Just bought my first rs, and whilest it has upgraded engine goodies, it doesn't have an upgraded intercooler. I'd quite like to get one and the standard one looks small!
What are my best options for front mount or a double capacity cooler?
Cheers.

No experience with double capacity, but the front mount i have just fitted seems to be working well, just be prepared for suome bumper cutting lol

Re: Best intercooler for FRST?
Cheers for the replies. Would there be any one to go for giving lower temps and more bhp?
I've been looking at the auto specialist airtec ones. Not sure if to go front mount or double capacity. Double capacity is suppsoed to add 7bhp compared to the fm 4bhp, and only has slightly higher outlet temps.
What do people think?

Re: Best intercooler for FRST?
Front mount all the way mate, either single pass or double pass is your choice really, bumper WILL need cutting tho, will lower intake temps dramatically, im using a GRS after having a pace double capacity one on, also it looks the bo!!ocks too! Airtec surposed to be good i just got GRS off a friend cheap so went for that one. Its a must if you want to run higher boost SAFELY,think Fast Ford did a test on them a while back?
