I have seen these around, and I know a few people running them, But what are the advantages/disadvantages of a liquid cooled intercooler. I know you would have to get the pump kit and resovoir. Anyone running one???

advantage: Higher cooling capacity

Disadvantage: Increased complexity and weight.

some early toyota gt4's had the water-air coolerseems like alot of stuff to work with, my friend had built one of those cars,and was in the upper 350awdhp range, and actually kept the water-air cooler,and had this huge heat exchanger mounted up front like a fmic....

I thought about running one on my s13 but i didnt know if it was as good as a fmic, but it seem to be better cooling so i might have to mock one up and check it out.
