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. - Jay -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

I agree it's time to end the debate. That said, I'm now very tempted to get an IAT guage and do a test next chance I get.
