it's not a matter of putting on a w2a i/c and getting more power straight up! much lower charge air temps will result in a little more hp by itself sure, but being able to tune the engine more with those cooler temps is where the added 'more hp' bonus comes in. plus to mention the cooler the charge air temps, the better the fuel economy too.
and remember the larger the heat exchange up front, the more effient the system will be.

in a engine layout like a aw11, w2a i/c should of been stock!!!
