water to air intercooler on whipple...
im looking into intercooling my whipple. i want to up the boost at the same time but due to boost drop with front mounts i would have to go pretty small on the pulley and im afraid of belt slipping. iv been looking into water to air intercoolers. i just wanted to see how many people are running this type of setup and how well they work. truck spec on bottom.
here is the kit i was looking at Water to Air Intercooler
i want to put the intercooler in my battery tray location and put my battery in my old air box location. what do you guys think ab this setup ?

Traditional mounted whipple, it wont have much use as it'd be two ATW heat exchanger systems working together
Side mount whipple, you'll see a huge benefit for track use where you can take advantage of icewater. Street use Id stick to a standard ATA FMIC

its a 2.3l (what i would call side mount) and i really dont want to run a A2A. i think the W2A with ice box would be the best all around for what i want. its my DD and some track time on weekends. my list of stuff when i get my taxes back is growing every day. headers, W2A, 3.5/8 pulley, custom cam and a walbro 255.

people are trying to sell me on a front mount intercooler. truth of the matter is that between the # loss of a A2A vs W2A the time and trouble of mounting. its just not worth my time and effort.
ill do a DIY on the install when i get my kit and everything needed. wont be for a couple of months but ill update as it goes.
