They use a seperate water cooled system to cool a jacketed intercooler effictively

thats right, imagine your intercooler slighty smaller and wrapped in water which is being cooled from a rad at the front of the motor, there ok, got one on my impreza, a large front mount is better though

Taken from pace's website www.paceproducts.co.uk

CHARGECOOLER KIT (CCRS2)
(for higher boost applications 16psi upwards)
Features:

* All alloy construction.

* Reduced back pressure due to unique design.

* Kit comes complete and ready to install.

* Keeps inlet temperatures down to 30°C.

* Tested to 30 psi.

* Now with heavy duty water pump.

* As featured in 'Fast Ford', November 1996.

* 26 bhp power increase ('Revs' magazine, 1997).

Not too sure on the acclaimed BHP increase, but I have one fitted to my car and have had no problems. It's perfect for my setup and I didn't really want the hassle of fitting a FMIC
