Yeah we talked about a stock WRX IC at the last meet, but Sean'd have to replace the hood on the car too cuz his RS doesn't have a scoop. Plus the piping required to get his turbo kit to mate up would be expensive. I think the stock WRX IC would work really well with his setup, but the cost vs. an air-to-water setup wouldn't be worth it...

The more I read about an air/water system, the more I'm thinking it may not be so cheap. I figured water hoses would be a lot cheaper than getting intake pipes bent, but an air/water IC is gonna need a water pump, which adds cost. If you can find a complete setup off a Legacy RS motor you'll prolly have a nice setup for a good price, but anything new is gonna cost a bunch. Is your turbo water cooled? If it is, I wonder if you can run the water for the turbo thru the IC before it goes to the turbo... 'course I'm not sure about the effect that'll have on the turbo... it may not be able to handle being cooled by already heat-soaked water...
