I was thinking about the heat exchangers which cool down EGR gasses with coolant (like in most new turbodiesels): We ecomodders want to run our engines hotter than normal, but then the coolant is also hotter, so there is less EGR cooling. So in a gasser, why not use intake air for cooling? It is almost always colder than coolant, it works like a WAI, and if the HX gets a leak, then there is not too much wrong with some exhaust gasses seeping into the intake.
