Message: [QUOTE="6.7Bison, post: 1543383, member: 32432"] Glad to hear some of you can back up my hypothesis! This gives me hope I won't have to do any further modifications to get more cool air to the intake. For my own purposes and to keep this write up and review complete I will still gather data after the install and post my findings. Thanks! Sounds like I'm on the right track to being informative and unbiased. You are correct the turbo heats up the air a ton and the intercooler is in place to help bring the temps back down. I've done some thermodynamics math with a lot of assumed values and raising the intake temp from 70F to 75F only decreases the mass airflow by approximately 0.75 lb/min. Not a whole lot and I would probably never notice real world. You are probably correct that just the larger element would make up this difference... But if I can have more air AND colder air AND a lower pressure drop from a new intake setup... :demon: I like performance and efficiency but don't like compromise. [/QUOTE]
