^^^ Lol no worries. My statement wasn't directed at you or anybody in particular. I just threw that out there in case somebody who didn't know better started to put straight water in their radiator. Tap water has all kinds of extra minerals in it and as the water evaporates from the system, those extra minerals are deposited and build up, eventually clogging up the system. That's why you should use distilled water. I'm not sure how hot a w2a intercooler gets, so I have no place giving any advice on that. I was only referring to the engine coolant.
