water to air intercooler

It consists of a Water2Air intercooler and a universal expansion tank from the ebay, an electrical water pump from Pierburg and a heat exchanger from Setrab.
Previously, I had an intake temperature of more than 70 ° C in city traffic. The new coolers intake temperature the city are under 50 ° C. To achieve even better cooling, I will protect the lines and the charge air cooler with heat protection from the radiant heat and hot air from the radiator.
Additional I build now even an IC spray as in the STI."

NICE!
Would like to see additional results, as in weather temp, IAT while cruising, and IAT after WOT pull. My findings with air/water intercooler are on post #157:

I replaced the wastegate springs on my setup, so I am working on the boost controller map. During the last couple of days, we had a 75-80F weather (again, per cellphone accuweather readings), sunny, not humid. Multiple 2nd gear WOT, to 3rd gear WOT all the way to redline, got the IATs up to 150f (by multiple I mean 3-4 pulls, back to back). Once the car is driven "normally", the IAT go back down to what they were prior to the WOT pulls, somewhere around 100-115F on avg for these particular days.

Accuweather.com reported a 56F for my zip code
Weather.com reported a 60f for my zip code
Driving through the city (rush hour) - IAT of 68-70F
Coasting (trans in neutral, engine at idle) - IAT went down to 65F (while going downhill)
WOT pull of 3rd gear & 4th up to 5K rpms (TO4S @14psi) - IAT of 75F
Sitting in traffic (engine at idle) - IAT of 70

great setup!
the AN fittings looks really nice, as compared to the common hose barb on these setups. nice work
Doing the same w/ w2a intake manifold on current project. water looks to be the way to go!
