Chaps

I have been wondering for a while about cooling or refrigerating the intercooler and or charge pipes

I don't think peltier cooling would be a very efficient solution considering the price and how it works.

I was thinking maybe take the current intercooler set up (air to air) with an aftermarket intercooler and have it be water cooler as well. So we would have an air to air system that is also air to water.

This would do a good job eliminating heat soak at idle. I think that would be the ideal set up anyone agree?

Just to elaborate I meant keep the front mount air to air but the unit itself would also have chambers and pipes to allow it to be water cooled.

Sorry third post I have another idea. Ontop of everything I just said have the reservoir for the water cooling have a peltier device on it to reduce the temps of the liquid. The unit would be powered by the car and have a thermostat if that's even needed
