[quote=“KrazyKid”"] Ohhh man… :rofl [http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5175655-Water-to-Air-Intercooler&p=69756775&posted=1#post69756775](http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5175655-Water-to-Air-Intercooler&p=69756775&posted=1#post69756775) dont be like them! your better than that… I had a frozen boost Chinese intercooler, 26x7x2 heat exchanger, 2.6gal water box and a bosch pump on the 3076R. drove it every day it was still drivable :rofl and never once had a problem. No heat soak, no leaks, and I have logs showing back to back to back to back 3rd gear wot pulls to redline, pull over 1-2-3rd, pull over turn around go again 1-2-3 pull over turn around go again. IRC the intake temp raised a few degrees C from first to last pull. pop the hood and I would put my bare balls on my intake manifold to prove it. Its all in how the system is built. its all math and science in the end. :thumbup [/quote] we’ve both got pretty much the most efficent/powerful intercoolers you can buy besides the garrett 4.5 core. we have the garrett 3.8 (1000hp core) buschur race intercoolers, back to back to back highways pulls 20-120, 40-120, dig runs you could put your hand on the intercooler and it was cold as ice. same goes for at the track, the intercooler would be cooler than before i even made the pass. you also have to look at weight, a waic conists of the core, heat exhanger,hose for the heat exchanger, the water, the pump, the intercooler pipes… it adds up and im sure it weighs almost double to what our intercoolers weigh alone… awic aren’t nessecary for us, our cores work well enough for over 160mph in 1/4mi, proven by buschur/awd, stm, etc… the research has been done, no need to reinvent the wheel really. ---

I hear you. I didnt think of the weight thing. lol good point on that one. How about a simple halo and a small CO2 bottle, like paint ball sized bottle for it. flip a switch and spray the livin bejesus out of it once you start staging. If the FMIC is really that good, that would make it even better than WAIC and ice. ---

If the FMIC is really that good, that would make it even better than WAIC and ice. its not the lack of an effective intercooler system on the evo. its keeping the T-case in the car and not exploding the rear diff/axles. there are so many street driven 10 second Evos that are very reliable. gonna be hard to sell an AWIC to an evo guy when, as pete says they are proven to go 8/160mph with an air to air core. ---
