Default mandrel piping

in the hotter weather, would it be possible to use some of the cold in the aircon line from the compressor to cool mandrel piping? i constantly see mine, dripping water coz of how cool it is, and see my brothers do the same. i reckon you could do it easier on ea-ed as its really close.

About the best you can do is somehow piggy back onto your aircon ducts, and duct one to where you want it.

But when driving at 110km/h, a duct outside will do nothing more than... nothing? lol.

Dont break an "aircon" line, they're a special system that has the fluid in it (called something, I forget, but it's dangourus :P)...

www.howstuffworks.com is your friend :P Also, search "phasechange overclocking" into google - Geeks cool thier computers with expensive, custom aircon units, they will most likely tell you the upside/downside, and it's useful to know, and would probably be the same in your situation.
