Doug,
i would send an email to Ben at MRT about this topic. I'm sure he
used to do trackwork with his RS, sold it ages ago, and remember him
telling me that with the larger front intercooler he never suffered
from heatsoak during any racing....
having 2 intercooler systems sounds too involved.. and costly.
Upgrade the std one and never have a problem, looks std and will be
more reliable..
cheers, Rod.. in oz.
