Attempting to lower intake temps...
Since our intercoolers are air/water intercoolers and share the same fluid used as radiator fluid, i was thinking of trying this stuff...

I think the best coolant for this purpose is Engine Ice. I plan to put it in my car's AWIC system soon. Motorcycle guys swear by the stuff. http://www.engineice.cc/products.html
BTW, it really is a coolant, not a coolant additive.

Which ever you choose, they work best with distilled water only. No antifreeze.

I have used water wetter in the past and it does make a difference. The products work by reducing the surface tension of the water in your coolinng system (at least that is my understanding) allowing for more efficient transfer of heat.
One note is that the compounds break down in ~12 months and become more corrosive than your normal cooling mix.

I dont think the intercooler gets hot enough for water wetter to work. Its my understanding that the water needs to be at boiling temperatures for water wetter to work.

We will see...
