This software is useful for estimating heat exchanger size and induction system requirements. You can model compressors, heat exchangers, sources, sinks, etc.

I made an example Air to Water intercooler in series with an Air to Air intercooler. In this example, the A2W uses engine coolant to lower the charge temperature before an A2A intercooler. You can't model non linear elements such as solenoid valves, waste gates, etc., but this is great for sizing purposes and selecting components to meet you maximum steady state conditions (worst case).
