I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

choose awic as worse or better? Why wouldn't you run it without coolant?

That reminds me of an article on AutoSpeed where they were noting that one of the primary methods that an intercooler works is acting as a temporary heat-sink under boost, then releasing the heat back into the intake under lower loads. The theory was that if the heat-sink was effective enough (the specific example was using state-change cooling), external venting wouldn't be required as the intake air would recool the IC sufficiently between bursts of boost on a street driven turbo car.
Of course, that means more than -K-'s example should be passable (water but no circulation) moreso than the empty AWIC tank condition that THAWA mentioned. Still...I would think that the tank itself would at least have somewhat of a heatsink effect (which unfortunately means it takes heat from the engine bay moreso than the stock tube would as well).
