Many many years ago, I used a Shelby 2.2 Dodge turbo eng/trans in a Bradley GT kit car. I used the A/C compressor to cool the water resivoir, then the heat exchanger from the car mounted in an aluminum box to cool the air charge. Not sure how efficient it was, but I could run on camel **** with stupid boost. If I were to do it now, I'd run a Dodge Caravan dual AC compressor (front & rear), so as to have A/C in the car & cooling for the intercooler....

You can even use a hobbs switch or TPS to turn off the compressor while under boost & still have a reserve of 42 degree water for intercooling purposes.

Ford almost did that with what was supposed to be the 04 Lightning before they scraped the car. Called it the supercooler. Used a basin to hold a seperated charge of water, cooled it with the ac, and at the press of a button would inject that water, change the timing and fuel maps and claimed a 20 sec or so boost of more than 50 hp.

Go read what was posted again, and this time think a little harder about it before making a post that makes you look like an idiot.
