What do people think of these. Things such as vr4, gtr, sti etc?
I know aftermarket will flow much better, but would these be suitable for not over 200kw atw?
Is there any other disadvantages.
Thanks Ben

I'd imagine the GTR one and the VR4 ones would be ok. Make sure everything is set up and tuned properly.

Yeah you'd need a chip of some sort to confidently run that power, so tuning on a dyno is a recommendation. Make sure air fuel ratios are sweet as well as temps on intake etc. Any reliable tuner can make it all good.

Also would a higher flowing coola directly increase power at the wheels?

Kinda i'd be aiming for a good flow and cooling abilities so the air is cooler when it gets to the block

$400 seems a bit expensive. I know a guy who will be selling gtr core for $600 in a week or so. Do you know which one flows better?
