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.
