Have you actually seen this photo?

Again mentioned earlier about boost vs temp drop and getting the balance, what you suggest would disrupt the air flow to much, plus you don't know whats actually been done on the inlet side to improve the airflow through the whole core. Why not check out the original posting on the original site. There are better educated people over there than me over there who will be able to explain better than I and will no doubt be intrested in your theories/opinions

It will also stay hotter for longer

95% of figures are made up on the spot. Where do you get the fact that Air/Water is 4 times more effiicient than air/air? Not saying its untrue where is this information based or in what application has it been shown?
