air to water intercooler

instead of the common air to air intercooler, this one uses water
the air from teh turbo goes through a small intercooler inside the box which has water circulating around it

water has a high latent heat meaning it requires lots of heat to raise the temperature by 1 degree
which means its an AWESOME heatsink material
