Anyone using a water to air intercooler on STS kit or other Turbo or FI?
I'm looking into the intercooler now as it will be going from 30 degrees here to about 75-80 in the next couple of months. I have seen Jerry's air to air set up but am wondering if the water to air would be better. Lets see some pics guys if you have em. I have some ideas about building my own and want to get some ideas. Thanks.

I saw that too...If you get it, I like to know how that works out for you!! If you like it then that just might be the key to STS success. I was thinking with the ability to lets say "replace" one of the straight STS pipes with this you not only cool air but you dont lose pressure since the lenght wont change!!! that would also mean you can run another intercooler in the bay as well!!! 
If you dont get it I definatley will when i buy my STS kit!!

I figure if I fab up the hard parts myself, have them welded together, and then buy a used motorcycle radiator from a salvage yard and a new pump similar to the one in the link then I would be set.
If you mounted it in the right location with proper gaurding and maybe a scoop and an auxilary fan wired to a manual switch you would get good airflow when moving and could turn on the fan switch at the track or when in traffic.
First I have to figure out how big of a unit will fit under the rocker panel and which pressure side tubes I can remove when replacing it with the intercooler.
I guess the bigger the better as far as fluid volume is concerned.
Would you need some type of tank that holds excess water or to vent off pressure from the small radiator?
