To be double cooling it would need another cooling rad mounted BEFORE the intake or for the boost charge to actually pass through another cooler.... So the charge would be cooled again. Its a good method, no wrong or right here... is the boost cooled twice?? no its cooled at the intake, the front water exchanger is basically an extention of the intake, i wont even look at the link youve posted, anybody that even has any idea what im were talking about will understand the concept...
the boost is being cooled once at the intake which cooled by the water passing through it, a air to air setup is cooled once at the intercooler as the air passes through it.... unless you telling me boost passes through that front water exchanger AND then then cooled intake??? yup..... exactly.....
to say its double cooling is completely incorrect, trust me if they were doing that they wouldnt be capping boost at 5.5-6psi ;-)
now a true dual cooling method??? air- air intercooling with meth/water injection sprayed AFTER the intercooler cools that charge again, giving AITs superchilled!!
I like the maf in place but after experiencing the alpha n software its as tractable as stock really... Its good enough for the csl so im more then happy with it in this application..
Either way id love someone to get this and grow the z4m fi community. VF have some great kits and this is no doubt another awesome option, i find my vt2 pathetic at getting traction to the point where its frustrating sometimes, in certain circumstances i believe my vt1 was quicker because i could lay that power ALL the time, vt2 has the traction light on constantly.... i cant wait to make a video to show you... just cant afford the go pro setup right now....

You didn't even check the link? Tom at EAS says this then:
"Two heat exchangers will be present, like the E46 S54 kits. The manifold will offer a cartridge-type heat exchanger, with a additional unit behind the bumper cover"
I'm just merely stating what they said. I wasn't aware of any other type of system that has two, separate additions to either drop the IAT or maintain the IATs....which is why I asked in that thread why I should pay $2100 extra for the VF kit compared to ESS.....
