What type of intake temps are you seeing at what boost level and power? I am seeing 40-50* above ambient on 15psi looking over some logs through the 8th mile. I think I may be heat soaking it so wonder if a puller fan would help?

 

I haven't looked at a recent log ( 14psi now ) but when I was running 7-10psi even in 90* weather i'd see intake temps of right around 102*.

What is the set-up? Is the turbo out of it's efficiency range?

 

I don't think the turbo is out of efficiency. I am pulling air in from the engine bay though. I'd be real curious to see where your intake temps are on 14psi Mike.

 

Let me see if I can find a recent log... I'll get back to you.

 

Looking through my most recent logs, I've seen 20* over ambient, mind you this is playing around on the street not at the strip.

 

I've only seen a max of 20° on a 3-4th gear pull

 

I think it's a combination of a couple things causing my high temps. Pulling from the engine bay and not having a turbo blanket (I do now). The high intake temps were the reason I rebuilt my hotside and run the cross-over around the back of the engine. Think I'm going to plumb a cold air intake and put a puller fan on the back side of the ic to see if this works.
