    Whats wrong with your current intercooler?

    Have you done any testing to conclude that it is not doing a good job?

    at the recent polo dyno my iat were around 60c ambient was about 30. and it doesn't seem to be putting down the right amount of power for the boost i run. last dyno was about 135kwatw running around 22psi. it just feels like its pulling back at high rpm

    Lito, we should log that on the street and not the dyno. Even at 60 my Polo was going hard. When did you last put some plugs in it?

    hmm, well last time i did plugs was less than 5k ago. i have a new set ready to go in just waiting on a new cts to arrive (taking soooo long, thank you x-mas post rush). i was gonna see if that made it any better but if not the only thing left is the ic or the maf... i wouldn't mind doing some more logging though, just to narrow down what's going on

    I've only been looking up air intake temps over the last couple of days, so its still a bit foreign to me.

    I know lower is better, but what is a realistic good air intake temp at WOT 3rd gear 6000rpm at 25-30 degrees ambiant temp?

    Are the powergaskets worthwhile to take heat away from the intake manifold?
