No, no , no... The car pictured does not have a FMIC (air-air) AND the air-water. That would make no sense at all. The water, after absorbing heat in the A-W core exists the on the right side heads up front and passes through a heat exchanger (a radiator) on the front of the car which should cool the water back down to something at least very close to ambient temp. The water then makes its way back up, through the reservoir, then back through the A-W core again. The reservoir is a convenient place to add ice though..

I think perhaps some of you are being confused by the metal tube going into fenderwell? Looks to me that is simply a cold air intake that connects to the compressor inlet on the turbo.
