And the fact that here in the ukthe weather isn't that hot even in the summer should make it a great setup.

If you run it non WI or spray it gets hot! back when I had it twin turbo and only on about 380bhp @ 1 kg boost it would pull about 70deg C charge temp in the top of 4th gear on a 28 deg C day.

I do dump allot of water on the IC, a trick I picked up of the old Benetton BMW F1 car when I red an article from their engineer who said how much they put over the core per lap in qualifying to keep the charge temps down to 45 deg C.
Before I swapped to a front mount IC on my FD, the temps were around 60-70C at 1 bar, swapped to huge front mount 3" core IC, temps went down to 24C!! And I gained .05 bar of boost and the car felt so much faster. The water temps dropped 10C too which I was amazed at.
