The cores cost the same. You do save the expense of pumps, heat exchangers, water tanks, hoses etc.
this just deals with the cold side of things.
Thanks
I'd prefer air to air. Just sayin

How would you route air to air? For me I would like a atw setup with a big tank in the spare tire spot. My Tahoe has close to 50/50 weight as is, if I do the math correctly I could off set the turbo weight with the water tank and make it even closer if not right at 50/50. I think it's 52/48 stock.

I think most of us want to make some decent power and can do it w a nice FMIC. Instead of the ATW. It'll keep the purchase price down and install quicker and easier. Keep a couple of the water kits for those looking for a lot of power.

Oh..I missed the fun part that it's A/W.

Can A/A function in that place? It will ease the installation compared to FMIC and shorten the cold pipes. Guess it will help build boost faster.

Im gonna say no. It'd be way to hot between the fan and block for a a/a. Plus FMIC Is BA looking and fits great! Lol

The pipes would route forward and stay I see the frame. Similar to our current ic set ups. Except there would be 3 connections. Middle connection would be the out let.

Not sure which people will want. Intercoolers like these will be order when kits are placed. Just to make sure I am sitting on what the next guy in line wants.

No the air/air needs to in the front area. The radiators air is to hot to allow an air/air to work properly.

Well just found out the 52/52 are no more.
So we are going to go up in size on the kits to a 61/52 MFS. They are switching their line to all billet wheels.
Waiting on one last piece to arrive to show the install with all the parts connected up.
I think it turned out extremely clean and very well thought out kit. Glad the customer was in no hurry, and let me retweek stuff I did not like.

fixtures are almost done as well so repeating will be no problem..
