Kyle, would something like this be a lot more effective when it is cooling water, like in your air-to-water system? Its kind of a dumb question because I know water is a much more effective heat exchanger so yes it will, but I don't want to make any assumptions about how the temperature of the water running in the system affects your manifold mounted cooler.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is whether this would be worth the price to develop due to the greater effect it has on an air-to-water system?

Ive seen in other forums with turbo cars that have done this and even just used water to spray and some had it hooked up to only spray on full boost. But I think the best thing to do would be a water/meth kit but dont get the timing adjusted and this would cool the air to allow more fuel and the cars ECU would adjust timing a bit for more power. But by not adjusting timing you dont have to worry about running out of the water/meth mix and hurting your car as timing wasnt adjusted to begin with. In the end it does the same thing, keeps the air cool going in.
