I would kill to switch over to a A/W system, but man its $$$$ as ****! You figure with the electric lift pump(water)at a good 500 bucks, the supplemental tank for extra water at another $300, the intercooler and all the pipes and fittings(AN6) say... $1000, last you will want to toss a 3 core aluminum radiator in there with aluminum caps to keep the higher pressure in.
all i can say is the last time i saw an air/water i/c, it was in a JDM Celica GT4 front clip...tho i'm not sure if it was an ST165, 185 or 205. i actually think it was of those rare RC spec (Carlos Sainz??) ones too...i used to work for an engine importer back in the days

Did subaru ever use one stock? anyone know? i have this idea they did for a few years but not sure...

Subaru's first-gen Legacy Turbo used an A/W IC (everywhere except the US). I had one that I never installed in my old BF.
