Smitty says:  I lost track of whether Ken or Mark was promoting this
idea.  Think about it for a minute though.  Turbo lag is already a
problem.  The more volume contained in the compressed side of the intake
system then the longer it will take for the turbo to bring the pressure
up.  I realize cooling the compressed charge has its advantages but the
negative side of that is when the charge is cooled the fuel starts
condensing into droplets.
