Anybody making a water to air intercooler for 3.5L EB yet?
In the history of turbos, early over boosters learned to vent condensation via a hole in the intercooler. The hole didn't stop condensation from falling out due to the pressure drop, but it gave pooled water a place to go.
A better solution was to use water to cool the intake charge using a small 12v pump to circulate the coolant. The added benefit of water to air intercoolers was vastly superior efficiency and very low pressure drop so that for the most part water never condensed out of the intake charge in the first place.
That all said, does anybody know if a specific water to air intercooler has been made for the F150 3.5L EB engine yet?

Yes, you are correct.
I was thinking in this system the pressure change is minimal enough from inlet to outlet of the CAC to negate any effect.
As mentioned in the above post, my brain wasn't fully engaged.
