With the inter cooler my preference is air to air, simply due to the less complex design and better reliability. If you haven't already check out ARE, ASE and Cross-country make very good inter coolers

Hey mate thanks for taking the time to reply. Yeah I thought the same about the marine battery, because if need be, I can crank with it, hopefully without wrecking it like a proper deep cycle, because I read they really don't like being utilised as a cranker!
Much the same train of thought as me then mate, at the end of the day, it's still an older non common rail engine, never going to be a powerhouse, so I'd prefer not compromise one of its best benefits, being reliability with an air-water system! Plus going with an air-air, allows me to spend more money on a good radiator for the intercooler, as I can mandrel bend up all the pipe work myself, so it's really only the radiator and some silicone hoses to buy to do it....
