    Way too many variables, but with an a/a it's not uncommon to see 200+ out of the turbo, and near ambient going into the carb.

    On the dyno my air temps after the IC were over 180*. This was with a fan in front of the IC.

    Yeah, my near ambient comment may be worded badly... It's pretty common for an A to A to cool near ambient, but probably not from 250*. Way too many variables.... cooler size, efficiency (turbo, and cooler), air flow, heat soak....

    I tested a Procharger years ago, I had 330 degrees out, 189 out of the IC'er, to the blowthru carb, never hurt anything.

    It varies greatly by application, the only way you will know is to log compressor temps and temps after your IC. When i had the single 72mm t6 on my 472 with no intercooler at 11 PSI I saw temps in the 190° range, when I switched to a single 80mm my IAT never got past 138° on the same engine in similar ambient conditions still no intercooler. The same turbo on a 429 with the same piping, heads, and cam never got above 130°. Using water meth on it now I can keep it below 100° pretty well, still needs an intercooler.

    Matchbot will approximate it as well.
