Is that water to water BD intercooler that was installed at bulkhead? Looks like a sweet spot for cooling purposes except landmines would kill that if not covered, which if covered would be useless.
Yes, that's the water to air intercooler. We actually very rarely see damage to that cooler (maybe 1-2 cases per year), and that includes our race department.
I guess, when you're turbo'd, that part of the sled just stays up
