I see many interesting threads about camchafts, turbos etc. great!
But I wants to know a little(much) more about what type of intercooling we should use in our engines.
I see that the most well planned and expensive engine buildups here on this site is using some types of Water-air ICs with a front mounted radiator.
As I see it that type has one big advantage, possible to make shorter pipes/volyme than in a regular FMIC instalation.
But is this type generaly more effective than a air-air IC?
Im my mind I was thinking of an instalation like this:
Please just give your thoughts about this guys. Anything good and bad with water-air and air -air is appreciated!
NOTE. Those questions are menth for a "top gun" TDI 250hp+ on just diesel. Not for dragracing, more circuit racing and a little street driving.
