Default Air/Water Intercooler

my friend has a twin turbo setup, and we got to talkin about intercoolers and such, and i started thinking about air/water intercoolers.

i've seen a couple air/water intercoolers, and it seems pretty simple to setup, and im trying to debate one thing, since his setup uses the current air/air intercooler to combine the boost of the 2 turbo's instead of a Y-pipe, would it be benefitial to use both? only reason im asking is because i havent seen any 2-in, 1-out air/water intercoolers.

i've read that air/water intercoolers have very little pressure drop compared to air/air? the one im looking at is making a claim of less than .1 PSI???

edit:
also though of another idea for the water's heat exchanger. to put that hood scoop to actual use, depending on how much air would actually flow through it, cut an opening in the hood, and mount the heat exchanger there? wouldnt be too hard if you run the water lines up along the hood bracket so there is minimal movement? im sure a front mount heat exchanger would probably serve better though, just a thought.
