What kind of air intake temperatures is everyone seeing with a boondocker pump gas turbo setups either with intercoolers or without? What is the max intake temp I should try to keep it below?

Thanks -

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity what boost are you running with those 135 degree temps?

I've seen up to 187 running 8lbs without an intercooler @2500' and zero f. I also have alot of hood vent's, side panel vents and shock tower vents so I ordered an intercooler.

i run anywhere from 12-15lbs at 6-9 thousand feet with no intercooler... depending on the ambient air temps... mine range from 130-200... 205 is about the max you ever want to have... from that point on the ada system starts adding fuel points and your sled will not run like it should.
