I really like gav's intercooler but i dont really wanna cut my bumper up, and after various pieces of advice I think i'm gonna get a pace cooler but ive heard really mixed views about them and I am wondering if any1 has one or knows what there like;

Are they a good fit? Are they easy to fit? Can u notice a difference?

Thanks alot

Matt

All we hear back on here is that Pace Products aren't a patch on their GRS counterparts, nowhere near as efficient.

well its all down to surface area mate, the more you have the more effiecent the cooler! but i depends on how far you entend to tune your car though [ERRR] pace are better than your standard one by a longway and unless your after silly power it should be ok! dam easier than fittin grs too ask my mate bezo he did mine and his HELLO ANGLE GRINDER

what ever you do matt, dont get the pace !! ive had 1 too, didnt feel any difference at all until i bought the grs.
the only way to get good cooling is as pornstar said!! u need large surface area and for it not to be covered by anything so u can get as much air to it as poss.
either think of another design and get graham@grs to make it but no point having a large intercooler and it being covered by the bumper
or
if u cant be bothered just buy a pace chargecooler if u dont want to run more than 1 bar. its better than their interwarmer!!

Pace isnt that great. A front mounted IC like Gav's WILL make a difference.

I had a cossie one with a similar surface area to Gav's and I noticed the different straight away from the Pace IC. Especially at higher speeds, the car pull's a lot better.

I would recommend Gav's version as it's the ideal soloution in my opinion for a standard bumper.

I'm a bit annoyed that I have a big intercooler that's being covered by the bumper. My feeling is that it will get reasonable flow through the RS bumper cutout, and between the bonnet and the bumper, but I do wonder what more there is to be had out of it. I don't want to lose the middle of my bumper though!

Bumper on:


Doh!

I'm not gonna run more than 1 bar, prob about 12/13 psi. And i really dont wanna lose the front of my bumper - is the pace one gonna really be that bad?

Are there [ERRR] other options i could go for, like Mik3y has got a racetek one that he is well happy - similar dimensions to the pace one but cools way better he said?

thanks alot - info really appreciated.

[MattL]

Thanks lot lads but i found the cooler i want, thanks to MIK3Y. its a racetek one, double core and cools the charge a lot better than the pace one and is £280. def gettin that one

thanks alot for your info
