I love the idea of doing a air to water cooler, but it's gotta be a lot more expensive than doing a front mount.

That's not bad at all. I have a big *** front mount sitting around right now I paid $300 for. I want a nice big TMIC but those are impossible to find. I'm not a fan of cutting into my bumper and getting rid of the bumper support. And a big intercooler on the stock turbo seems unnecessary to me.

That's why I did the A2W system. No cutting.

Then again, I'll have to look at my car with the bumper off and see if a FMIC was ever there. If it's already cut I'll just put what I have on.

Are you guys running any kind of T-stat to regulate the temps and allow the water passing through the heat exchanger time to cool?

Maybe t-stat was the wrong term. I mean do you have anything that slows down the coolant in the heat exchanger to allow effecient cooling by keeping the hot coolant in the heat exchanger longer to cool it more

Nope, Just cooling fans on heat exchanger.

splitter is hitting the ground in the "karussell" as you can see on picture 2.

And the tires hit the chassis (the part right above the front wheels) under some conditions.

After I got the TPS set perfect and messed with it I got it to idle steadily at 900~ RPM.

This one made it noticeably different at first since its a really big SP. It was pretty "brappy" at idle, but the TPS was off by A LOT. So that made a difference probably.

I just replaced my TPS a couple months ago, still haven't set it right. I got the resistance down to where it "should" be, but I still bog down a bit when I come off the clutch in first.
