Water to air makes sense...

But where under the hood do you plan to fit a water to air intercooler core... even if the heat exchanger is mounted up front.

It would not seem that a Subie H4-like TMIC location would be ideal, considering how close the throttle bodies are to the firewall... H4 TBs are in a completely different location.

A lot would likely depend on turbo location... one or two turbos... low front, low aft of the engine, or high-aft of the engine...

I can only imagine how much it would cost to build a new intake manifold that incorporated a couple of laminova liquid intercooler cores, and go that far custom.
