Default Aftercooler swap

Anyone ever tried an SOS after cooler on the Vortech kit, or vice versa? I really like the mount, size, and position of the SOS after cooler better than my vortech. The way my lines are run for my after cooler doesn't leave a lot of room for a bigger aftermarket rad. The SOS one has plenty. Just curious if its been done.

Ive seen this on instagram but dont remember from who. Dont you need to bend your top rad hose a certain way for the SOS aftercooler?

With SOS, you have to cut the upper radiator and use the supplied hose which is just a radiator hose from one of the previous generations of a RAV4.

So i was very curious about this setup and emailed SOS. They advised that their aftercoolers are specifically only for their SOS sc. It wasnt as expensive as a new vortech aftercooler, which runs about 1100-1200, but not sure if you want to take the risk of it not seating correctly

Mate, I have a brand new Paxton 1500 "Ti" which is the 1200's big brother and a Vortech Aftercooler, both are brightly polished. I have a Tial QRJ BOV and Greddy Flange.
I have other stuff like Custom Pulleys from ASP racing. It's the same set-up Phil "SIDEWAYS" has. Let me know if you need anything.
Cheers
