Im finding it hard to even fathom a responce to this post.. That car is just wicked awsome. Honestly I like the paint job the best on it, well next to the performance.

1. Just air to water intercooled? No front mount at all? I seems to me that the pipe visible through the bumper fascia just crosses directly over and is taking the route to make plumbing easier and keep it away from the manifold heat, but I'd love to hear a little more about this unorthodox manner of cooling the intake charge.
2. Is there any benefit to going with AN radiator lines other than having a much lighter pocket? Any more specifics on the radiator used in the car would be interesting to me as well.
3. It looks like there is -8 line used for the fuel to the afpr, but a -6 line is used for return, that's not an overrun problem?

The sole reason for running air to water, was we were running a dsm style turbo ( putting it the oposite direction) We already had a dsm turbo, we already had a dsm manifold so why change it. It pushed the turbo out too far to run the stock radiator. So we had to run one, we put it where we would of put the front mount. There left the problem, where to put the intercooler. We chose liquid to air, The cooling is great when theres ice in the system. I did forget once and saw inlet temps of 175 degrees... With the ice i'll see 40 degrees at start and 120 or so at the end. One thing you must remember is when the nitrous is on,,, the intake charge is out the window... We used AN fittings because it looks so much better then stock cheesy rad hoses. The radiator on our car was actually used on the bullish car , it was used from them. A -6 is fine for a return, we use alot of the fuel in the line, and we run 1600 cc injectors. Hope i got all the questions...
