Message	:Any ideas on this Nix? I didn't do any scientific testing. I talked to Richard of Aquamist. (owner, chief engineer, et.al of Aquamist...tippy top.) I checked the DSM and TurboBuick Forums. Richard said, and this is ALL i have to offer, "it significantly drops the efficiency of the intercooler". My research on forums and webpages indicated the same. I have considered removing intercoolers all together. But have done nothing to substantiate the removal of them, in lieu of water injectors. We did do scientific/on-the-road testing with a thermocouple in the passanger intake plenum behind the throttle bodies. here's some of that scientific data.
