a large air to air is better for the rally enviroment because the car is always moving and the heat wont soak back into the intake charge, unlike stop and go. when you're off boost the heat soaked into the IC can flow back into your intake charge which is now cooler than the IC is, this applies to both water and air intercoolers. if you have an air-water you have to be able to move ALOT of heat out of the system through large radiators with alot of water flow to keep the heat soaked system from being hotter than the off boost or low boost intake charge. if its air to air then you'd need a massive FMIC or a pair of sidemounts and even a front mount, but with all that you get pressure drops and more possible leaks. also theres the durability aspect, an air-air IC doesnt have moving parts, where as water-air has a pump and fans.
