Initial loggin on Sunday showed a big drop in intake temps. Typically it was running upto 30-40 degrees above ambient when pushing on for a while (so on a 20c day I was seeing temps between 60-70c) but now the highest I saw on Sunday was 20c above ambient.
The other good thing was the recovery of the temps was a lot quicker too :happy2:

Stock cooler cant be that bad steve, 30-40 above ambient is what top mounts usually suffer from, i know the ths will run cooler than the stock ic but not double :confused:.
SteveP:
See below on the RR graph for the intake temps on mine, 16.5c day and top recorded temps of 70c :surprised:
(PS - This is the OBD connected intake reading from the car not a probe, also this was on the car with stage 2 before the HPFP).

I know RR's won't produce the same level of air flow as normal driving but still on the road when live logging with VAGCOM is wasn't seeing that much difference in peak intake temps. :smiley:

70 degrees is really high, how many runs did you do on the dyno?
Maybe the car was running a little lean before you added the hpfp or the boost was a little high. Suppose they do get hotter on the dyno as the fans will blow around 40mph tops and the car is doing 100+.
Not saying i dont beleive you, just shocked that the inlet temps can get that high, 70 degrees would sap some serious hp :sad:
Think i need to sort me an intercooler out next :smiley:
