As a side note, you should never run just plain water in your coolant system. You should always use distilled water, as presure2 said. Otherwise, we're beating a dead horse here. Any coolant will work, don't mix coolants, etc.

before we get off beat here, i never said i run just water in my COOLANT SYSTEM. I run just water WITH water wetter in my chargecooler system as per what the OP asked. Never had any problems with this setup, and yes water wetter by itself has anti corosive properties, enough for the simple chargecooler setup..Anywho, i agree any setup will work. I just see no reason to BUY extra antifreeze unless you dont want your water to freeze...

^^^ Lol no worries. My statement wasn't directed at you or anybody in particular. I just threw that out there in case somebody who didn't know better started to put straight water in their radiator. Tap water has all kinds of extra minerals in it and as the water evaporates from the system, those extra minerals are deposited and build up, eventually clogging up the system. That's why you should use distilled water. I'm not sure how hot a w2a intercooler gets, so I have no place giving any advice on that. I was only referring to the engine coolant.
