I'm liking the detailed specs on the build! Are you running engine coolant through the air/water cooler?

 

[Zedd]

Its a separate circuit that uses the old A/C condenser as the radiator. Right now the condenser is too restrictive to flow at high boost (boils inside the intercooler after more than 15 seconds at 18psi) and is massive overkill for cooling at low-mid boost. I'm still deciding if I'm going to split it into a parallel flow cores or find something else to replace it entirely.

Whoops, should have read the link. That's a very well thought out installation. It's good info to know the 5/8" condenser lines are too restrictive.
