This is Dave's current system. He is not entirely happy
   with the water cooling.
   Air flows through the inter cooler on the left side and the oil
   cooler on the right side and then through the 2 inch thick rad
   mounted below the engine and out the exit below the cowl.
   The air is also heated by passing over the turbo charger
   and exhaust manifold before it flows through the rad.

   Does anybody have any suggestions what Dave could to to improve
   the water cooling?

   Oil cooling and inter cooling are fine.

Now, thats just not telling the whole story Paul :-)

To complete Paul's discussion, I should add that my cooling is entirely
adequate for ground ops in hot weather, flying around normally
aspirated, and keeping up with the other RV's.

But there is just not enough cooling there to make all the h.p. that I want.

The benifits of the system are 1) was the easiest fit in the stock cowl,
2) makes the best use of the cooling air, as the intercooler and oil
cooler do not add much heat.
