Air to Air would work if you could get the air to it. Don't know if R-Tech is still around, they were making intercoolers for that application.

I'm familiar with the Procharger intercoolers.
I could make up a core unit of finned cupronickel tubing that would fit inside of the housing. From the outside it would "be" a Procharger intercooler, but all of the water passages would be corrosion resistant cupronickel. The housing of course would still be aluminum but would only see hot air - not water.

The finned cupronickel tubes could be stacked and staged to allow the coldest water on the "exit" end of the airflow and the warmed water to exit on the entry end of the unit - this would spread the cooling delta all the way thru the core.

I haven't done one of these, but I would say I could do so for no more than the cost of a standard replacement unit.

I have one of these setups on my Grand National, and run it with straight Methanol. You will be able to turn up the boost if you so choose to do so and still have a huge safety margin. Methanol is cheap and you don't use a lot of it either.
Their system is totally programmable, and only come on when you need it.

Fixx,
Was he running one of their intercoolers in salt water? My boat goes in for three days then comes out and gets flushed. The frozen boost stuff is inexpensive but I worry about longevity.

salt and aluminum are not going to be good no matter who makes them...

noi fresh water..im suprised your having trouble,,trailers seem to last in salt water..you may want to rig up a flushing t in the sostem to flush the cooler when sitting..i think the problem come from the boat sitting and when the water drains out on the cooler the salt in the water plugs up your cooler and then starts to rot it out..call frozen boost and see what other options they have..you may be able to run the cooler through a ice/water tank but dont know how long the ice / water will last in the heat..http://www.frozenboost.com/product_i...0a99242d95ac1b

im thinking a on board liquid nitrogen tank cooling the water for the intercooler might work.
