jdcustom, Plazmaman are a good cooler, I have used alot of them on Rotaries and XR6T's. But I wouldnt say the best, Especially the 800hp XR6T cooler. The Air Power Systems (APS) Gen3 intercooler has less than 2 psi drop at 570kw @ kws and air temps didnt see over 40 degrees c. That turbo looks quite large on that VT. The ASE single turbo kits with the cheap coolers and the 4088 plain bush turbo make 380kw on 10psi through an auto, I would be expecting a bit more.
