There are probably far more examples of factory forced induction cars operating w/ air/air rather than air/water.

That being said the biggest question i would have isn't what is better between air/water and air/air. I personally think they both have their places depending on the intended outcome of the build. The question would be is the system in question large enough to keep the temps under control for the vehicle/blower combination. The only way to prove or disprove this is w/ extended driving monitoring in and out air temps. Not 7 min of dyno runs on a "HOT" 72° day.
Really?

If I have to hear Kyle talk about all the real world testing that has gone into this car one more time I'm gonna throw up.
