Not to change the current topic but I just read two more small pros for Air-to-Air over Water-to-Air.

- A2A system has less weight
- If the intercooler fails for whatever reason and leaks into engine...bye bye engine.

Albeit, these are small compared to the main reasons...
- Reliability and safety for the engine when frequently using boost.
- Reduces heat soak issues
- Improves performance
- Reduced system complexity
- Reduction of under hood components

Only pro for W2A that I see is for people only doing drag strip runs and they can have a cold car at the line and option to use ice.

The top is all true statements. But ....I think you meant W2A in this last sentence in bold. Might want to edit that.

Supercharger install is complete. Hopefully going to Seb early next week. Thanks goes out to Topgunz, Tbatt, CJM and Lspec (who did the install).
