undatharadar Member 3 Member For: 15y 11m 20d Posted 07/07/11 03:14 AM Posted 07/07/11 03:14 AM Long time lurker first time poster here so patience please.Have done lots of searching and there are so many coolers on offer, most seeming to be aimed at hi level mods (lets say 400rwkw+) and require space to be made to fit. I am wondering if anyone has installed an fg aftermarket cooler without using, grinders drills files or any other bastardising tool. I thought maybe the pwr stepped may be ok but saw on ford forums it was not 100% bolt in, perhaps the nizpro fits? Thanks

Another option is to drop Ratter (Pitlane) an email as I believe they fitted one to Bel's car and some customer cars

If you reused the OEM hoses (why would you) then technically no trimming at all would be required. You also need to remove the foam strip from the stoneguard as it sits directly under the cooler and fouls on it.All said, the PWR requires the least amount of modifications to fit. The only other one I would consider would be a process west stage 2. 1
