Any reason for the air-to-water IC? I know they are more efficient, but once the water gets warm it loses all it's benefits. I don't see an electric supercharger heating the air to the degree an exhaust driven turbine would. If you are willing to run tubing for a radiator, I would go ahead and run tubing and do air-to-air instead, IMO.

I've hand built two turbo systems for cars that were not 914s and I've seen many kits made for other cars that were electric superchargers. It never seemed like they were worth the hassle and produced a weak amount of boost.
