[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16231115, member: 124025"] I don't have any hard data, but I've fooled around with this stuff enough to have an opinion. I think under boost conditions, it would probably keep IAT2s down only because of the volume of coolant in the tank before it gets hot. But, you would need a pretty hefty pump to push that volume of coolant, that wouldn't be found on a regular front mounted heat exchanger, or it might not work. Once the tank coolant is hot, there's no way to cool it down unless you have ice or you have some sort of heat exchanger somewhere in line. Now 80* IAT2s??? BS I say. Ambient is 15* higher than that in the dead of summer where I live. Not gonna happen. You can't defy the laws of physics. [/QUOTE]
