They do, I guess i missed that one......??? :doh: Combination????
Before you get all too excited about what Caterpillar uses. They use the 190* engine coolant to cool the internal radiator for the air-to-"coolant" coolers.
Depending on the level of boost you want to run you might want to check out http://www.frozenboost.com They have inexpensive coolers that are suppose to be pressure tested to 70psi.
Best option is to have a completely seperate circuit when using 'water'. If sized correctly (flow rate on pump and radiator) you can get the water temp within 5-8F of ambient. Like Justin said 190F water to cool the charged air is nothing to get excited about. And the only reason Cat does it is because the charge air coming off of the turbos is so GD hot that it will melt or soften the aluminum of an air-to-air cooler.

you can get that as an option on subaru wrx and sti
dont know how well it would work i think i would be shootin it right into the motor before doing that, just think it would take a susbstantial amount of water to be worth it
ive seen it on pullers and drag rigs, but they use co2
I just want to build one on a budget. Since a after market air-air cooler is around 1200+. I thought I could get the better end of the deal and cheaper. What is good size to use on my puller?

If you're pulling, plumb it thru a rad, then to the bed, and thru a heater core in an ice chest, then back to CAC. Before each pull, pack it with enough water to cover core and fill the rest with ice. Cool the charge air down to 32 degrees. I know guys who put prop glycol, ice and dry ice in cooler, and get the flowing coolant down to 0-10 deg too.
ive been lookin at the ones from frozen boost, and they say they test them to 70psi. i was lookin at there one for 1200hp and there bosch pump and largest heat ex they have also
