That really does look hot, just one question though, and before i ask it please forgive it as it may seam dumb to some...

With the radiator lying flat like that is that IC gonna be able to cool the air properly, always found it weird how thes intercoolers can still cool air when the air is not really traveling through the fins in the normal way...:confused1:

Hi the intercooler and rad only work well if the pair are boxed in so the air pressure forces air through the fins . This set up benefits the water temp as it's not getting hot air that a front mount intercooler setup would provide.

My air temp is usually 18/25 degrees dependant on conditions and water temp is 84

It does suffer from heat soak tho if left sitting for a while so you have to be careful not to boost until it's cooled down . But it does cool quick when on the move again
