Overpriced Killer Chiller. I don't trust their claims based on what i see in the setup but my Killer Chiller, meth, and trunk tank worked perfect for me on a 195 pulley.

I wouldn't bother with split cooling. I wouldn't over-think it too much either. Install the PLM, the pulley, headers and tune and take it for a spin. You will have more than adequate cooling. Not too many people would be still wanting after all that. Traction may be your biggest issue.

Unless you want to run the top end of boost like I did with my 195 crank pulley and live where it’s hot nearly year round keep it simple.

Palmside is the NZ distributor for quaife. Wavetrac you will need to import. EBay or your choice of trusted vendor.

Is it true that you lose you're heat when you split the cooling i red this on here somewhere .

I wouldn't be too concerned which one I got personally. The wavetrac will still send torque to an airborne wheel if you fly over a bump or have very stiff suspension that the rear wheel lifts through hard cornering. The wavetrac may also have some minor low speed quirks, maybe pierat can go into more detail on that. For track work maybe the wavetrac is better otherwise you can't go wrong with either. I would get quaife simply because they have a distributor here and I only street drive.

Can you clarify lose heat? The only accounts I have read from people who measured before and after temps showed no improvement. There is very little coolant circulating between the two different circuits- intercooler/engine.
