Part of my inspiration to start this thread stems from a couple debates that I seen here:

and here:

where these 2 guys just seem to argue about which kit is better (one saying the other just blows engines).
I'm just trying to gather some info to see who's kit might be the closest thing to trouble-free 'plug-n-play' on the market. I'm only looking to put a kit onto a stock 2.5L that will have a free flowing exhaust system as the only other mod.
Also, one quick question about the Street fighter turbo kit: Doesn't the water circulating throughout the rear tank eventually get hot after constant driving, and then inturn cause the intercooler to become way less efficient? Seems like this system would only work right if you always kept ice in the tank or something? And in the trunk, the temp would stay really hot in the summertime I would think just from sitting in the sunlight all day? Has anyone conducted any efficiency tests on these water to air intake-air coolers to find out if they work efficiently in a constant duty atmospere?
