[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 72077, member: 1026"] Superg, Aftercooler ?. Check out the Mustang crowd in the US. They used it in the mustangs that are supercharged. Its the same principle as the intercooler but it uses a separate water reservior (with or without its own small radiator) to cool the intake charge. Cars like Mustang does not have the right space in the right place to place a conventional intercooler (either air-to-air, or air-to-water) , so the Tangs uses aftercooler , also called ChargeCooler for that purpose. It has its own electric water pump and sensors to circulate the water in the aftercooler. Apparently, its pressure loss is less compared to the normal intercooler. More plumbing and more parts means more weight and more areas where things can go wrong. Don't confuse this with water/methanol injection or water sprays. [/QUOTE]
