Why does it seem like front mount intercoolers are more popular these days?
I personally like Air to Water Intercoolers more, just because you can always dump in dry ice into the water and have a great intercooler efficency. Why don't more poeple use AWIC? What other car manuactures make AWIC other then the gt4? what's wrong with the cheap ebay ones? Ebay awic item #: 8036625491 can someone tell me a little more about AWIC systems?

The weight your talking is negligable, no it wont help traction your talking a few pounds here. Then on top of that if you switch the resovoir to the back you now have to have a more powerful pump because now your doing an unnecessarily long piping system with even MORE water which is even MORE weight.
Leave the stuff in the front. -------------------- |
