That is really interesting...wonder when Honda will decide to make use of this on your future turbocharged production cars. . Maybe this technology will do away with the use of nitrous-oxide systems??

I don't believe this is exactly what others have discussed... I remember people talking about the A/C chilling the intake charge... That can't work since the A/C can't possibly cool that kinda volume of air at the that perticular rate.

Ford here has twisted it slighly by using the A/C to chill seperate coolant and then have that run through the intercooler...

Sounds like a Air to Liquid cooler to me... just that the A/C runs to chill that coolant a little more.
