Whats interesting is a oil less turbocharger...

Front mount or bust.

I dont know about oil-less turbos, but the water-air intercooler is badass.

Water air coolers are actually really efficient in my limited experience... and I've heard good things about oil less turbos from a guy with a few remote mount ls setups so makes me wonder...

Air/water is great, but expect cooldown of the water to take a bit longer. I'm running a/w on my current car. It cools the temps a lot better than a/a, for a while... after the water gets hot it takes a long time to cool off.

I think it's great all around, but definitely more for the drag race crowd. The W2W guys out there should stay a/a.

For me, it is hard to beat the AP kit. Don built it exactly how I would have. Turbo sits low, mounting with vband, no cutting etc. The a/w adds some complexity to the system, and while having super short IC piping will help with response, there is a weight penalty.

Imho, wta = hassle. While it's a more efficient charge-cooler than ata, the pumps and plumbing adds complexity. At least it'll sit like an SMIC and not a TMIC.
