Default Opinions on PWR liquid barrel intercooler?

Going boost on a my 91 DA and gathered everything thing i need except the intercooler. I was thrown an offer for a FMIC (air to air) but then my boss recommened to try out a liquid barrel intercooler (liquid to air). Search is down, and i was wondering if anyone is running one and what advantages you have over a (air to air) FMIC and if its worth 500-850 price range.

Tony (I think ) and others on here have commented that those are actually quite restrictive, so I would stay away. Just run an air/air

for track use....fine
for daily driving I'd say stick with the air/air. Once the liquid gets heat soaked it's going to remain that temp. Unless you run a pumps and circulate the liquid to a cooler outside the car to cool it back down. But then you basically have the same performance as you would with a decent air/air. setup.

Yeah, but I don't know anybody who runs an air/water on the street without a heat exchanger.
