I'm just spitballing from an idiot's perspective after looking at jasonjm's comments,

Won't the diffusion be positively affected in the outer sections of the intercooler via turbulence from the increased velocity relative to the un-vaned hot side end tank, and it will only be the center section that sees reduced diffusion?

As far as not wanting uniform flow to best combat the constant heat of track work, I would think you would want a uniform distribution on non-laminar flow across the intercooler to maximize the flow rate the intercooler can handle before portions are loaded beyond what they can effectively exchange.

But, like was previously stated, you have to fight decreased diffusion, decreased transfer rate based on temp differential, viscosity, etc., and find the balance based on the testing results. My understanding of thermo is very basic, so I'm really just curious how it all comes together for effective design.

Once I can get my hands on this intercooler, I can plan towards buying the W1 Drop in. :rolleyes:
Or buy the turbo first since they have it and buy the intercooler later because might take a little before release or even pre order

It is a strategic way to further see how others do with the turbo. I gotta get a new clutch and summer tires before I dig into intercooler and turbo. And yes I know PRL also has an intercooler that works well but I want to see what these guys do first. I also have to figure out how I want to go about getting a custom tune for the W1. It's a process. Ultimately I want get the intercooler before turbo. Thanks for the obvious alternative though.

black for sure would look very sleek, especially if you throw the logo on in orange as others have stated.
