Yes you have a little bit of boost loss, but it's made up by the lower charge temperature.

Wait, my last post didn't argue any of your statements. You had no idea that an air to water system had a radiator to recirculate, or that an air to air system loses boost through piping. But I'm not getting it? Either way, I don't think we can decide which is better without side by side testing in identical conditions. I need to put a pre and post intercooler IAT sensors and see what mine will be...
Also txz4, BMW uses coolant/distilled water in their air to water systems; water is the best fluid.

For me it's the TQ numbers that make this unit a winner, provided it can be verified.

I'm also waiting for the dyno sheet. G power's kit is rated at 450 hp and 340 tq at the crank, so I'm calling BS that IronZ made 345 tq to the wheels... hopefully I'm wrong.
