air to water intercoolers are great for racing, the problem with them though for street driving is that you have a limited amount of water. so if your water gets hot, you'll be virtually intercoolerless untill it cools down. The water will inevitably get hot. If you are planning on doing it, I'd advise you not to include your air to water setup w/ your radiator, 165o water isn't going to cool your intake charge down at all. The only way to do it correctly is to run a large water reservoir and make it it's own closed loop system. more effort then its worth for a HMT setup IMHO, but it will work.

Well as I said above, the 2 coolers are seperated, it just looks like that on the pics, the water cooler will be about 8 inches away from the radiator, and it is a closed loop system, cooler-pump-intercooler-back to cooler, no need for a water resevoir is there? and even with a front mount, if youre not driving fast then the air wont be cooler, but if youre not driving fast then youre also not boosting. in my system even at idle the water will be circulating through the system.
