Okay, so what system do you think is better for a mainly road driven turbocharged car.
'86 AE85.5 Levin

I don't claim to know everything... That doesn't mean it isn't true....

Water to air is better but manufactures tend not to implement them very often because of associated costs.

water-air anyday...the thing i HATED more than anything on the GT-FOUR was the fact the turbo would over-heat....as the bloody intercooler air-air wasnt effective enough...mind u it was top mount...a water sprayer wouldve been nice though :D

The turbo doesn't overheat, the Intercooler heat soaks.
