Thanks for the clarification. I did not understand it correctly first time around. I thought that, somehow, the H/E was other than where it is and that is what had me concerned - did not see how you could cool the air charge very well.
Very interesting design. I am going to do some homework on it as I had not seen it before. More torque and a cooler air charge is a pretty unbeatable combination.
