Because of the losses inherent in piping in an air to air intercooler, I'm looking at installing a low profile air to liquid intercooler, with the air to liquid heat exchanger mounted above the engine, in line with the current crossover pipe from the turbo outlet to the intake manifold. The liquid to air heat exchanger will be mounted low, near the front bumper, with an electric fan and electric pump to circulate the liquid. This configuration should produce the maximum cooling, with the least head loss in the air stream, providing the best power/efficiency boost.
