Got a link to that thread ?
It is somewhere towards the end of this thread http://www.hsvforum.com.au/showthread.php?14440-Ge...moif said:
I've had mine on my car for 18 months now and it does the job
When I fitted mine myself they were new to our type of cars in this country so there were a few snags on the installation due to were to fit the chiller unit itself due to its size,but with a bit of mechanical knowledge its doable
I wired mine up so I have AC in the cabin and have a bypass switch so you can bypass the intercooler at the front of car
I have seen my IAT's as low as 19C reduced from 52C within 2 minutes,when driving with chiller on temps are around 28C depending on ambient temps but this can be reduced by 5C if using the bypass system
The kit I used was RX Superchiller
This is where I got mine from....

FORD patented this idea years ago. Whilst I can see how it works for a single pull or drag run, I suspect it would become in-effective on subsequent runs (in terms of recovery time)
Recovery is pretty quick actually, have been following along on the original build thread and he seems to know his st. One of the early graphs seem to only show a gain right at the last point on the dyno pull - there was very little difference throughout the pull.
And I think I'm reading that he's changed the ignition timing for the low IAT temp areas, which would make a bigger difference between having the chiller on and off. (i.e. makes it look better than it really is because he's eating into the safety margin of the OEM map)
Having said all that, It still seems worthwhile overall because if nothing else it keeps things nice and safe for a relatively simple mod.
