If it's only sport use is drag racing and driving around on the street my recommendation is an air to water setup with a decent sized tank. On the street, you aren't in boost long enough to create serious heat in the intake tract. Now before I get flamed I'm talkin about a Sunday afternoon type drive to ******* barrel with the family. IF your street driving gets spirited shall we say, reach down and turn the pump on. The ambient temp water will still do a better job removing heat from the charge than an air to air will. 5-7 gallon tank would be enough to do this.
