Default RS500 Intercooler on a P1?? Anyone tried this??

Hi Guys,

I have a cosworth and have seen that you can purchase a huge RS500 intercooler for just 250 quid new.

Has anyone ever tried this on a P1 as a front mounted intercooler, as my brother has a P1 and was thinking of this route??

I dont think you'll get a bigger or better intercooler for a cheaper price or is the case that the pipes and fitting only suit the official aftermarket ones that Scooby Tuner sell.

Thanks
Jat

Maybe the Cosworth engine could be fitted in !!

Although that might affect the resale value

Fit a Hybrid GT Spec FMIC for not much more money and it comes with the pipework and clamps to fit your car.

PM or call for a unbeatable price.
