Intercooler's: Water to Air vs. Air to Air

[bodyman]

bodyman wants to go a2a, Im like

I never said I was!!! I actually like this idea. Buying one after I mount the manfiold and my baby turbo up to see what size I'm looking at.

I think this really is a great idea. The more I research about it, the more I like it. SSA had a w2a intercooler STANDARD on their kits. They also had an amazing top mount manifold like I've never seen before. Nothing like the other manifold where the wastegate was the priority in the design, but still an awesome mani. I wonder why more people don't run these. I don't have enough room to be honest.

Had to bring this back. I have done my research on this and the pros and cons are not to bad. It does cost a little more then a standard a2s with all the tubes needed and then you need a place to mount it. I was going to run this but the thing that changed my mind it that at time I drive from AZ to Tx or Ks so it said it will get heat soaked and I did not see the appeal of having to add water when I stopped for gas. But it seems like a good deal, if you can get your hands on the kit that has the box in the truck and dump some cubes of dry ice in it. It would bring the temps down extremely low.

^ I never thought of that.. the heat soak issue

Yes I know the SRT turbo kits or was it the SSA kit comes with one factory.

SSA came with a2w cooler. It was located right around where the stock airbox would be.

[ksboi]

I would like to see the IAT between the two.

[aLmk]

Iirc it stayed right at ambient or just slightly above.

Oh that be nice mixed with some meth injection you could run some nice ass boost pressure!!!

It's funny, because meth the drug and meth the alcohol for our cars are both addicting.
