Default Which Cooler to Get???

What is a good cooler to get? I have been looking at the B&M 24 and 28, is there any difference in installation of the two also? Also, do I really have to have the temp guage? Thanks.

People run 19, 24 and 28. Most go with a 24. All of them are the same besides the size.I have never heard of a problem with running any of them. Most people dont run a temp gauge. But it couldnt hurt.

Yea most people go with the 24k but you should be fine with any of them. I dont think there will be any variation in the installation between the coolers. Good Luck

Thanks! I have heard that the 24 comes with mounting hardware and 28 does not? I have been trying to confirm this with Thunder Racing since they seem to be the only sponsor I have found with them.

I contacted Thunder Racing and was told that their 24 has all mounting hardware and radiator adaptors, so I guess I am going to get that. That is all I need for this isn't it? Thanks.

Get a plate type cooler. 19k is fine for most people except very hot climates or auto-cross
