    Looks like a core from a 200 turbo!

    Pace did use to make them for Keith .

    I contacted Ross at pace last year and they wanted £465 + vat for the intercooler.

    Do you have the core dimensions of the side mount, I may be interested.

    How are you managing to squeeze a big front mount it, have you gone for the rally style extended grill mod?
    Ditching the spacer on the s2 box moving the engine back and fitting a made to order intercooler supplied buy vrs Northampton and running water meth to keep temps down .

    Jsws3, I'm certainly interested in that. If you could post a picture of it that would be very helpful.

    Thanks chaps.

    I've half considered the reverse inlet manifold but, for the time being at least, I'll stay with the standard one.

    I had plans to relocate and upsize the oil cooler anyway, as I'm convinced the standard one is too small, so putting that behind the grille and making a larger intercooler may work well.

    I have fitted both an alloy 4 row radiator and a larger intercooler to my RR urquattro.I removed the aux radiator and used that space to fit a 13 row Mocal oil cooler.The new intercooler is 80% larger by volume and fits in the standard position.Its hangs lower than the standard intercooler so it was not possible to refit the bottom cover,and it partially obscured the original oil cooler and caused higher than acceptable oil temps on the track.The original oil cooler was directed cold air through the vent in the bottom cover and without it,it did not get enough.The Mocal oil cooler cured the oil temp problem.
