[Mr_chOps]

hey guys...im planning on getting a st185 clip and i was just wondering...if i clock the turbo what dif. does it make?? does it improve on performance?? i no it uses less IC piping rite??

Well, at least you stuck by your statement - I thought you would back down when confronted by my super logic. I guess we just disagree here which is fine. The truth is without an IAT guage and switching the setup in the middle of the test, we will probably never know. Really, I think the issue comes down to the capacity and efficiency of the intercooler. There are A/W intercoolers out there that take the intake temperatures down to ambient. I would imagine that good a/a setups could do almost, if not as good. I have a very hard time understanding how the temperatures could get any cooler than ambient by eliminating the loop - but hey I think its time to stop beating the dead horse.

Oh, and to correct the statement, I have eliminated the loop and clocked my turbo down.

Thanks for the entertaining debate.
