Turbo guys in here...
I'm excited to let you guys know about a little project JPC has been working on for quite awhile. We all know turbos and big power don't mesh on the street and we know it's because of heat...period.
JPC is finalizing a system that replaces your front mount air to air cooler for a liquid to air cooler that is fed from a resevoir in the trunk. It's adaptable to just about any turbo kit out there.
If you're on stock internals and happy with where you're at - no biggie - but if you are wanting to run some serious power through your set-up, this is hands down the start to maintaining it.
There is not going to be any pics obviously because this is a JPC invested project, but if anyone is interested, I strongly suggest you contact Justin or Tommy at JPC for more info.
Water cooled is > than air cooled any way you slice it - unless of course you're driving in alaska...

Thanks Mark.
As of right now at my power levels I don't need any additional cooling. Datalogging shows the IAT in my car is 10-15 degrees above ambiant @ 14 psi with 100 oct.
However, I may switch to a different and larger turbo. Then I would look into getting the air/water intercooling. It makes more sense to me. It's over 90 almost everyday here in the heart of the summer so I would need it.

That's a good tune you got right there...
I didn't have any problems on a single 67mm even up to about 590rwhp - but on the 76mm with about 620 rwhp, I was blowing head-gaskets within 30 minutes on the highway.
I think air to air is fine for less than 18 psi on the bigger singles and the procharger.

I've looked into other turbos just a little bit. Borg Warner makes a journal 66 mm that Dex got and he made over 650 on the 100 octane I beleive. Adam was pretty impressed. It's on my wish list.
I'm just happy the stock tranny hasn't expired.
