How Effective should a intercooler be??
I have installed 2 temperature probes on my front mount intercooler on the inlet and outlet pipes. Both temp probes are sitting inside the pipes directly in the air flow.
Ambient air temp = 19c
Normal driving conditions im getting around 30c - 65c on the inlet and 19c outlet
On boost im getting 75c - 95c inlet and still around 20c on the outlet.
Stuck in traffic - 35 - 45c inlet and 35c - 40c outlet which would make sense due to no cooling effect.
Do these temperature figures sound about right???
This is the intercooler in question - Ebay 350241959391
