Looking for Polo 86c parts I stumbled across a water-cooled intercooler that looks similar size to the G40 air-cooled - but larger 70mm pipes...

I don't have a G but thought someone might be interested. Water/coolant at 84c absorbs more heat than air at 20C and it might plumb in more easily and subtly than a FMIC?

What a great looking unit, size and price. Of course it would have the option of a separate cooling system for it or even use ice cooled water/glycol. If I was building up my set up again it would certainly be worth considering it because it would probably fit alongside my radiator. Thanks for posting it.
