Looks awesome!
What it the charge-cooler / rad you are using and how much did it cost? I'm going to need one for my Volvo install.

never heard of a chargecooler, why would you use that instead of an intercooler?

Space mainly. You have a water-cooled heat exchanger that cools the intake air after the turbo, this can be located anywhere convenient for the
large-bore plumbing. You then run small water pipes to a radiator in a good airflow. It's more complicated, more expensive and heavier, but
potentially provides much more cooling when packaging is tricky.
j30fos - where did you get the actual charge cooler from, looks like a tidy little unit.

you need to get yours sorted ASAP we need to sort out which is better BEC or 'T'CEC ;-) lol
Saying that though, mines a hybrid BEC chassis and CEC engine best of both worlds lol
