the problem of airflow to a intercooler in a mr2 requires thinking out of the box.

in a targa style race car i can't see it being an issue. bit dubious for a street car though.

water-air is the way for mr2's.

A mate had a similar set up on his AW11 4agte. Was the most effective method of getting cool air however his cooler was mounted verticaly behind the rear window.

Personally I'd go for boot mounted and duct air to it from below/sides....
