Huber or Mayr in Germany once made an air-water-air intercooler for

But you add complexity to your system (not to mention 2x 480W fans on
the front-mounted radiator....no scoop on the hood/bonnet....and they
weren't pleased when I asked how that stuff had to be powered by a
12v/50A alternator....).
Also ask Maarten for his opinion about this kit....)
PS, about the attached Excel-pricelist AAI:
Anyone a clue what a boost-control knob is for?
Just for fun, temporarily over-boost, or compensation at high-
altitude? (where, *until* the waste-gate opens (much later!), you
still have less compression than at sealevel!)

Hello W.J.,
I am not sure about which setting it controls, but it could be either fuel
supply, waste gate, or both.
For landrovers, there's a bost box available that enables you to run a TD5
engine on a higher boost pressure. Currently you can only run you vehicle at
15psi - the boost box allows you to up the boost pressure to 20psi, or for
competition vehicles up to 30psi. Anything up to 30psi will require a modified
hybrid turbo-charger. If you have an intercooler and chipped engine, you
canget some extra power but how long the engine will survive is another
question.
On the fuel supply side, the control acts like a performance/economy switch.
It's useful when you take the vehicle for MOT inspection and don't want to
fail on the emission test.
