They're more complicated and heavier than air-to-air, which is why they aren't that ubiquitous.
IMHO - this is a huge win.
My big fear was that this car would be a street queen given the turbo engine/resulting heat issues. A2L goes a long way to making this a trackable car.

How's running hot coolant to cool the intake air temp more effective than a fmic that's exposed to much cooler temps (relative wind) than hot coolant?
