Default Intercooler Fluid

What kind of fluid goes in the intercooler is it water, anti-freeze or something else? Mine is about half full and I was going to top it off.

My 2003 car came from the factory with almost pure water (or at least a very week mixture). When I replaced the defective intercooloer pump I used a 50/50 mix, but noticed the intercooler tem guage is now about 15 degrees hotter. Another thing to check are the fittings that Saleen uses -- cheap metal that is prone to rusting and corrision. You should replace with brass or stainless.

Default 50/50

After a rock put a hole in my heat exchanger, I replaced the unit and filled it with a 50/50 mix. I haven't noticed any difference... and that was over 3 years ago (I think).
