The compressor housing gets quite hot which makes the filter's rubber collar hot which caused the collar to tear under the weight of the filter. So, I stuck on a GReddy AirINX. Is this the way to go?

Looks like it will hold up better, I ha a similar filter on my vert, was an HKS, after a year or two from the heat it got really brittle and just fell apart, but it's better then falling off LOL

It looks to me like the air/air IC has been converted to water/air and thats an ice box sitting next to it. An ideal setup for drags.

Yep -



That's in my sig - GReddy SMIC converted to liquid cooling. I use a JABSCO pump to circulate the coolant thru the I/C and its own radiator. But, the friggin' turbo compressor gets hot
