the importance of getting a nice one?

you do know i'm going for the looks here! :D

If you want it 'all on show' go for HKS, APS, TRUST ETC, if you want it hidden go for PACE.

Everyone has their own views on 'performance' of these bits o kit, some say bar and plate is best....research :)

thanks.. how do these help compared to standard ones?

Two types are available,
plate and SHELL :D
and Extruded tube,

extruded tubes tend to be more efficient where as the plate type tends to offer less flow resistance.

never seen a charge cooler on a scooby, wonder why ?
perhaps it's a plumbing nightmare ?

hmm...

Charge cooler on my Scoob :)....and it's not a Legacy :D

do you think it is better than an air/air intercooler
what is it on then ?
was it a biatch to fit ?
is it more compact than air/air?

charge cooler on my car and it is a legacy lol ,pound for pound i would go for the charge cooler every time more work to fit than an intercooler but worth it

Chargecoolers are more consistent than air/air IC's, certainly for a car in "real" conditions, but an FMIC will show better figures on a dyno (only due the air they direct onto an FMIC).

Pace do a universal chargecooler kit that they claim keeps intake temps down to 30C for about £500, half the price of their FMIC kit.
