Cool!!!
That looks like a very clean install as well. Any more pics?  
However you can see what I mean about blocking the majority of the airflow to the radiator.
Here is the link hope it works.

W/A is IIRC 14:1 heat transfer verses 1:1 for A/A - I dont follow your logic.

Like Stazi said...air-to-air are cheaper (or can be had for cheap)...plus I think everyone wants the look of an intercooler hanging out there...In fact have you seen those fake intercooler air -intake things?
My air to air work spretty well...(I wouldn't say better than the ADC) but good nonetheless. After driving, you can put your hand on it and it is quite cool, but after letting the car sit...it heats up b/c the turbo is rigt underneath...and I have an intercooler sprayer that I made. And for most the biggest drawback would be the hole I had to cut in my hood, but I actually like it. Mine is from a Saab...35 dollars...not bad.

why not use a side mount a/a from a z32 nissan or a jdm sr20 240. they are pretty efficient for low boost(just like most turbo tours, hey!!). plus they could be mounted in the lower front fender right below the battery. if you were really concerned about airflow you could even hook up a small electric fan to it like the ones that you would use on a trunk mount differential cooler

Sure when the water is at the right temp, i.e. ice. Which as we know will never last in the summer in any car. Though that can very on the effcieny of the heat exchanger.

Once again - PIPING! 
You OBVIOUSLY don't realise the difficulty routing any piping to said intercooler.
Take a good look at a Turno Charged Contour V6 sometime and tell me where on earth you'er going to run two extra pipe to the front bumper.

I think you guys got off on the wrong track.. he's looking for something that does the same thing for cheap. Well, I have a perfect solution for him. BAM: E-superchargersThe electric supercharger.

BAM:
E-superchargers
The electric supercharger.
For $600 he can get 1.5-2psi of boost. (twin setup)
It should be a good power under the curve modification (instant boost) with a slight perk at the top end.
However the more efficient the engine the less gains overall and especially at the top end since the fans generate a set CFM flow.
I still would like to see a twin E-RAM on a 3L. Just to know...

Are you kidding me? I thought these things were goofy, I wouldn't have thought YOU of all people would think these are a good idea.
