The liquid intercoolers on the roots blowers aren't readily available/ cost effective for aftermarket performance.

Although! If the car was equipped with a turbo from the factory making installation of a larger turbo much easier, than I would opt to go with an intercooled turbo setup. Less loss than a centrifugal supercharger, and a cooler BOV noise!

If install difficulty was not a factor, on any motor, I would go with an intercooled turbo.
now u see how i feel!!! its all about the BOV lol! but u gotta be careful with that statement not all stock turbo motors are built the same!! IE skyline/evo/supra engine compared to say a VW gti, or starion or volvo engine lol the later will cause u much more stress :-(
