Every setup I have done, I have always preferred the air/water.
The only advantage an air to water has over your basic runofthemill front mount is the ability to use ice as a heat transfer medium. In the end your really just making hot water instead of making hot air. Unless you have a drag car or some sort of setup that cant get cool air to the intercooler, an air-to-air is more cost effective and easier to maintain.


Your really only cooling with the first 4" or so of the intercooler, the rest just acts as a heat sink. So find the one with the smoothest transitions in the endtanks and move on.

Thanks but there is a local guy that has one I am going to trade some wrech time for. Im in college so Im broke. Gotta love the bartering system.

I might however hit you up about 2 of your 38mm wastegates. Or do you offer any wastegates bigger than 38 so I can just run one.

I have 4-bolt 40,50,and 60mm wastegates. They go up around $20 for each 10mm in size. I'm not near my price list right now, but if you are interested I will give you prices and psi levels.
