I am using a type 14.
I believe both Wayne's and Mechie3's standard package both use type 14.

Thats a list of every part I use to build awic setups from frozen boost.

I've been doing a lot of research on AWIC solutions for my STI. The AWIC has historically been great for Drag and Autocross racing (you can put ice in the reservoir tank between runs and actually have IATs below ambient).
Historically not very good for Road Racing, the coolant eventually gets heat soaked and power drops off.

However; there has been a great deal of hot rodding AWIC - Heat Exchanger solutions in the last 4-5 years thanks to the Cadillac CTS V, Ford GT500, Camaro ZL1, Corvette ZR1 and C7 Z06. All of these high HP cars use AWIC. And of course enthusiasts like us aren't satisfied with 600HP so they mod their cars and track them like we do. Most of these cars have/had issues with overheating their AWIC systems on a race track. The overheating was caused by inadequate heat exchangers that couldn't keep up with WOT full boost for long periods of time. That has brought about numerous aftermarket suppliers to meet the demand.

Fluidyne, Edelbrock, Lingenfelter, Ron Davis, AFCO, LFP and more suppliers all now make aftermarket heat exchangers that are capable of keeping these cars on the track and racing. No longer are we stuck with a Frozen Boost single pass exchanger made in China.
I've found one that seems to be a perfect upgrade for the standard 818 Frozen Boost based system. The Ron Davis heat exchanger designed as an upgrade for the Camaro ZL1 (580 Hp, 566Tq).

Frozen Boost Type 100 vs RD ZL1:
Both are approximately 24" wide by 12" tall
1" thick vs 1 5/8" thick. That's 1.6 times more cubic volume. But not so thick as to slow the air down before going thru the radiator. Many of the other upgrade exchangers are 2"-3" or even 3.5" thick.
Single Pass vs Dual Pass.
Top/bottom tanks vs side to side tanks.
1/2" inlet/outlet vs 3/4" inlet/outlet.
Price FB $150 vs RD $554.

Do you want AN fitting inlet/outlet, different mounts, temp sender bung, or any other custom mod? Ron will be happy to make the change for you. It's easy to imagine if the 818 community comes up with a specific design for the 818 he could build a batch of them.

The RD ZL1 mounting tabs are approx 4" from top and bottom, and are 24 7/8" wide at the mount holes. There is a bleeder on the top corner and a drain valve on the opposite lower corner.

if you Google Search "ZL1 Camaro Heat Exchanger" there are several more vendors. All of them are 24" x 12", the thickness is what varies. Or some can add dual fans.

The type 13 should be good for most of us as it is rated for up to 350 HP, but I went for the type 14 since it is rated for 600 HP and more cooling is better.
I also went for the upgraded bosch pump.

With my detuned 818R- the Type 13 was marginal with my 280HP on the track. If I kept the car, I would of went to A2A and found a proper solution to front mount it. Plus, the 818R would of been lighter. For a street the current AWIC should be great. The guys with 818R's or track 818S's and the stock location A2A intercoolers will eventually have problems I'm thinking with any higher HP (Or they are not pushing it hard enough :) )
