    i dont know, if you relocated your battery to the trunk i think there would be enough room for an electronic water pump, but i dont know why you would want an air to water. i went through an air to water phase and decided that since it would cost more and was less efficient why should i do it. use the intercooler that comes with the kit, it wont hurt your cooling of your engine or anything.

      hte intercooler does not starve the radiator for air. We have tested it for over a year on the prototype and it is a sleeper location.

        So the FFF turbo kit doesn't work with headers?

            [edit] Tiago got to it before me.

            Tiago, do you think you will produce a Y-pipe to mate up to the headers as an option in the future?

                I have a set of low milage cerma-coated CIA headers I'm selling if someone wants to be a guinea pig for the CIA header Y-pipe modification they can have them at a pretty good price.

                          Yeah, mounting the IC there makes the car more of a sleeper, but the open downpipe lets the whole world know otherwise [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

                            Where would be a good place to purchase a new clutch before getting the turbo kit?
