The heat capacity of water is much higher than air making it a much more efficient way to cool the charge. |
This type of intercooler sucks during prolonged use, I have experience on the Audi platform. Yes the initial charge is much lower for a longer period of time but what happens is the water gradually heats up and causes the intake temps to rise. Once they get to a certain point there is no way to cool the water back down and let the intake temps cool down like letting the car sit on a traditional intercooler or taking it easy for a lap or two. Water takes a long while to cool down as well so once that point happens your track day is done
