I do see potential heat soak concerns with the mounting location, but even that can be offset if it becomes an issue. I'm assuming a traditional front mount intercooler was space constrained?

The truck is coming along nicely, I'm excited to see it starting to come together. Hopefully it's time for some body panels soon!
there's soooo many ppl skeptical about the water to air! from ppl running engine coolant thru the cooler to poor water cooling that lets it heat soak, etc. i guess we'll see hopefully soon enough. i specifically sized the radiator to be slightly bigger than the core of the charge cooler, in theory the system should be able to ditch more heat than it can take in. plus at some point it'll also have an aluminum reservoir in the bed that would shed even more heat.
