Currently with the rear mount, my IAT's only get up to about 15* over ambient. What kind of IAT's are you guys seeing with front mount turbos?

my last setup usually seen on average 15* above ambiet when under boost for a full pull. the times when i ran e85 mix i seen the IATs drop below ambiet on a full pull.
IAT can be effected by how effecient the setup is

same way as any other alcohol based fuel. If you noticed when running an alcohol based fuel most dont run a IC as its not neededQuote:

Trust me I am not arguing, I can see cyl head temps or EGTs lower, But IAT's?
If you tell me that you have datalogged the fuels back to back, I will take your word for it. I am just struggling to comprehend how.
That's what I figured - intercooler size, pipe routing, etc. I'm just trying to get an average here so I have an idea of where the IAT's will be when I move the turbo.Quote:

Might consider water to air with a front mount. Much shorter pipe routing. Less pressure drop. More consistent temps = Less tuning issues on multiple passes or possible heatsoak
The plan is to keep the intercooler setup like this
Attachment 3718
I'd like to run an A/W intercooler but the cost is the only thing stopping me. Keeping this intercooler is free. I also plan on relocating the IAT sensor to directly in front of the throttle body, mainly so the ECM will recognize the temp drop when the meth sprays.
