Liquid to air intercoolers
I was just at PWR's website and was looking at their liquid to air intercoolers. Anybody have any opinions on these? Any bonuses versus a FMIC? Besides the easier plumbing?

There's arguments that support both.
WTA usually have shorter paths, ie less potential for lag. However, WTA's require extra plumbing and associated things...heat exchanger, radiator, pump, wiring and hoses. ATA has longer paths, but is lighter and simpler...nothing to break. I think there's good reason that World Rally Cars' have progressed from WTA to ATA...I think ATA are better. Matt |

what about power though? would I have more potential from a ATA than a WTA?

Intercooler comparisons.

Sorry to not have a more straight forward answer. I still have not decided what I am going to do. Good Luck.
