that could work. if you have a cool air intake sucking in ambient air... pulling thru an "intercooler", it would remove the heat from the intercooler and cool the water circulating thru it. then when youre gettin on it, the hot air coming thru the inside would have the heat removed by the cooler water in the intercooler. but continuous beating on the car would heat up the water inside and w/o suffient time to chill the water back down, it would essentially be heat soaked. how long do you drive spiritedly or boost on the streets? probably alot. most people boost all the time, but of course a minute straight of boost would mean youre goin pretty damn fast.

i gues sthe question is, what is the cool-down time to get the coolant back down to ambient temp. cuz then you could measure it in duty cycle. the On-time is about 1 minute according to the author. if it takes 9 minutes to cool the coolant back down, then its only a 10% duty cycle... kinda low.
