Frontera intercooler isn't the best intercooler to get but it will do the job. I personally wouldn't want to use a frontera intercooler if my engine was going to be running over 300bhp but then a lot of people do use them.

Any more info on that?

Currently the "wrc intercooler" from MTech
is the Frontera/Movano one, wich i bought from them!

So, any news in wich intercooler to use with 350bhp power will be much appreciated!

The water cooler and intercooler support:









The water cooler was tested
and lowered from 80º to 60º...
is it good for a stoped car?

I would of spoke to Pace and got a nice big one made up. But then you're talking a lot of money. The Frontera one, is good value for money and will do the job.

pace are seriously expensive what what they do. the punto one is not particularly great. Sperco ones can be bought for decent prices on ebay.

the only thing I worry about with intercoolers from turbo diesels is that TD's don't produce as much heat and petrol turbos. I would measure temp and pressure drop across the FMIC as well. make sure it is upto the job of a modifed C20LET as it has come form a Frontera / Movano
