Do you agree beedub?

I think that you will need an air-air FMIC once you go higher than 9psi or something like that.
i think its fair to say both have their merits and i personally think alot of times the air-water is used due to space constraints, its take alot of r&D to get those pipes snaking around the engine bay and fitting perfectly, then all the brackets that have to line up with the boostpiping for the air-air setup ect ect.....

air-air has a quicker recovery time, allows meth/water injection, much easier to upgrade for future boost increases......

Air-air is for the only intercooling i want....
