Agreed, ATA would be nice but I can't imagine how to (tastefully) do the plumbing. WTA intercooler isn't bad, as the water channels are half the height of the air paths. Even with ATA intercoolers you're at the mercy of heat soak and ambient temp, unless you're blowing chilled air (and at that point, may as well run a Killer Chiller).
I haven't forgotten about ya, I will arrange shipping once a proper replacement is sourced.
