My only question is.... WTF is that measuring folding stick thing, lol.
Ohhhh.... And 10 degrees charge temp rise on a stock turbo with a pro-tune is pretty good for a direct fit. While everyone keeps sighting "how much do your charge temps rise" a reasonable comparison, but that's on valid if its 100% the same car on the same tune compared to a previous datalog.
For instance.... My old panda cooler would prob kick ass on almost anyone's car. But... It you went by the numbers of temp rise on my car, I would see 17-30 degrees. Not because the intercooler was crappy, but because I was running more boost heat than it could handle. If I turned the boost back down and let the boost drop to 20psi at redline, it would have likely looked kick ass. Point is.... Temp rise depends heavily on boost over time as well, so your tune/wastegate duty cycle table can weigh heavily on the "results" you get from a "how much does your charge temps rise". You have to give it context. And context really doesn't mean "last summer my cooler rose 45 degrees, and now in Feb my temps only rise 15 degrees". Sort of needs to be in a relatively same weather pattern.
That may or not be relevant to this thread.
Now.... A pair of datalogs a week or so apart laid over each other showing the same boost pressures and temp rises would be perfect. Doesn't make those "temp increase" post useless by any means, just means.... We need to look at them for what they are
Hope I'm helping.
