    What IAT'S do u get on liquid gauge

    Well I'm wondering what IAT'S people are getting looked at mine the other day on my liquid gauge and after sat in traffic for 15 mins and car running for about 25 mins the most it went to and has never been above is 30 when I put my foot down it drops to about 9 is that any good.

    I'm running 3 intercoolers too wich I did want to get the toyo intercooler soon but been told that is quite good

    on my daily I get up to 60-61 degree IAT's on the standard single side mount intercooler! absolutely mental.

    Not logged the track car yet on the welly cooler.

    9 degree IAT's on boost is pretty awesome, although I'd hate to see what the pressure drop would be with 3 cores in the system :S

    Forgot to say that when I was running the ah Fabs v1 cooler I was always seeing temps on boost of 50-60 degrees plus but since going to a more free-er flowing cooler the temps dropped through the floor

    A mechanical guage plumbed into the dv won't show you pressure drop though mate, you need a source that's PRE intercooler, so the n75 is your only real option.

    The dv line is fed from your inlet manifold, so should rad almost exactly the same as your liquid!

    I think you're getting mixed up when I was running a small fmic before the Wellycooler! I logged AITs last week and saw lows of 5 degrees without my WMI running

    that's pretty nuts guys. can't wait to see what my IAT's are on the welly cooler with the hybrid at low boost.

    The manifold certainly likes to get bloody hot already! Scarily so infact.
