Default Using an Air to air core for an air to water unit is foolish, the thermal transfer requirements are

very different

Default no idea, and i dont think it was ever really mass produced. it was on their website for a bit YEARS

ago, as far as i know the black avant im talking about is the only customer car that those ICs ever made it on to.

Default black Avant here...

I bought this car with AWE A/W ICs installed. Recently I had small leaks at the fitting. AWE used some plastic fittings, experimental ? temporary ? beta testing? lol ...
my mechanic relaced all the hoses with Aeroqup 1/2" racing hoses, all plastic fittings were replaced with Earls anodized fittings. Everything was custom fabricated by AWE Tuning (Spring 2003).
~30ft maze of hoses

I'd definitely like to see some IAT logs of that setup. Looks nice.
