see, i've heard both sides of the story with a/w. i've heard that its bad because you can basically 'heat soak' the water (water becomes too hot) with it as a street application.

but i've also heard several people say thats not a problem if you have the right sized heat exchanger and pump?

i've also heard that in winter, you can run into problems with it freezing, but if your in a cold area you should know that water can freeze and you should be running some sort of coolant instead of straight water anyways.

honestly, i think i might try it out. i found a single turbo kit cheap (for 1600 who cares if it cracks? i can just have a shop mimic it afterward anyways)

im not sure how much pressure drop can effect performance. maybe i need to pull up one of those calculators on the interweb. .1 or .2 psi drop vs 1 or 2 psi drop? sounds like a big difference but i guess HP/TQ numbers are what really matter hmm?
