OKay, I have a quick question. I am looking for a decent quick and easy to install water cooling kit. Does anyone have any opinions on the Z4 Copper Intercooler kit? (It's at www.hardcorecooling.com ; under the water cooling area, I can't pull a direct link)

Any opinons or comments on this kit?

Looks ok, but I'd make sure to run distilled water and antifreeze in it cause it's got copper and aluminum in the same system.

Some people on the boards have these, (I built my own) anyone else?

They should be strung out and shot for including that radiator. :) Just my oppinion here. And like Diggrr, I agree that copper and aluminum is a big problem in watercooling. The copper and aluminum act like the poles of a battery, and they start corroding real bad. Sometimes bad enough to clog things, or create leaks.
Check out www.dtekcustoms.com www.aquastealth.com or www.dangerden.com for some good parts.
but really, that kit you linked will work, it does work for alot of people, but why not get the best bang for your buck, that's my reasoning. :)
