    The air is collected in one manifold anyway. The reason for two intercoolers is to keep it away from the radiator. FMICs are not very effecient. I remember HGP build a VR6 BiTurbo with a FMIC at a customers request, and the car kept overheating when a magazine tested it on a track.

    It's probably a water cooled intercooler. It wouldn't be painted if it wasn't.
