I had to Google what a wellycooler was. :ashamed:

Turns out that my autobahn88 kit could I suppose class as one.

Thanks for tyhe heads up.

You can get the core for as cheap as £80... I guess he's just charging for his time to make it fit properly and then a bit more on top for good measure!

Spoke to Rich today at dynodays.
There is a lot of fab work involved and labor in all fairness.
It's definitely worth consideration.
Especially as it will increase the change pipe size to bigger then even uprated pipes. Bigger pipes=better flow. And Flow=Power
And the limits have not been reached, even on 600bhp cars.
