Focus on the rollers, Intercoolers being testing for ACT (Air Charge Temperature)
Standard ford Intercooler.

Thats a 70 degree drop o.k. but anything over 50 degress Engine intake temperature is not good for the engine.

Wow now thats good a 111 degree drop in ACT figures speak for them selves.

87 degree drop, its o.k. and shows it works, JUST, but for Less money, more safety and more gains you can have a Airtec Intercooler upgrade for your RS all for just £345.
We tested the standard intercooler first, sensors needed to be fitted on the Intake & the Outlet of the Intercooler.
Next up was the New Airtec Intercooler, fitting took about 45mins on the day, without a ramp fitting will take about 1 hour.
Fitting it really easy, a perfect DIY Job

With the last Intercooler tested the Guys at Jamsport refitted the Airtec Intercooler and gave it their seal of approval by putting their name on it.
