Thousands of A/A are used in those cars. Porsches saw the light years ago and weren't blinded by it---pun intended. Guys get the W/A and dump them fast...one reason is A/A works better. And it has no chance of your electric water pump, lines, heat exchangers, etc. going out or leaking, Not fun trying to find the leak or whatever and having to pull the clam/clams.
I even tried one early on BTDT... had to try it because of erroneous hype ... it sucked compared to A/A.
Do you relocate the alternator or is it the same type of install as the Greddy?
That guy can't sell sell his and it's been up for 6 months. Check out the factual opinions of people who have been using intercoolers for over 20 years on those cars and others. I'd need some hard data to show that W/A is better than A/A, even if space/area is lacking for A/A. A fan or fans could help, but may be necessary for only idling or slow traffic with the a/c on.
JMO and thousands of others.

TurboBuick?...those guys are draggers and sit and stage and heatsoak anyting/everything under their hoods. Julio, of Alkycontrol, has done wonders with his meth-injection kits...enough to completely remove the intercoolers...I ran one of his kitson my Z06, it wasawesome even with my water/air intercooler.
I never experienced heat-soak wtih my water/air i/c, because I don't drag/stage/sit in traffic and then beat on it. After 20 minute sessions on the track, my fluid was still cool. It just depends on how you use them.
