the only reason i didn't mess with the air to water units is the reservoir and pump needed. i have a spot, since i moved my battery, but for the "kit" it was highly problematic. the same would be said of any intercooler though, as the cost factor makes it too expensive to the customer.
it's the same reason that i don't sell the kit to 944 guys. it's not that it doesn't fit, wouldn't work, or any of that. there just aren't any 944 guys willing to pony up the money for the kit. they would rather drop in a 951 engine or a V8, and have more power for the dollar. i've been offering for years to tune a kit to a 944, as long as they would buy the kit when it was done, but so far, no takers, even knowing that it would be CARB legal.

My setup is completely different than yours. I run the supercharger facing the other way, so I have an unlimited supply of belt lengths. Also I designed it with a full wrap and can use the A/C to tighten the belt. With this setup you get to keep the A/C and the big heavy stock alternator is replaced by a much smaller GM unit.
This picture was taken a while ago, so the blue piece is gone and it's a one piece silicone unit coming out of the supercharger now
