Default IAT's at 10lbs boost @#%^&*??

At 10lbs boost there's tons of power when it is cool outside. However when it is hot like today the IATS can spike well over 200F while under boost even with the methanol. So I have been driving like a granny on hot days to keep the IAT's in control and not go into KR. Im going to move the meth spray up between the supercharger discharge and intake to try to get a better result. Otherwise the FMIC is starting to look like a dam good investment! Thoughts?

I even had to let a vette, srt-4 and STI blow by me today. Ouch!!!

just spray a shitload of nitrous. . Actually your idea is a good one, play w/the meth some more then look into an intercooler.

Thats what I used. Pretty simple really. Take off the 8 or so bolts holding on the bumper, get a sawzall and trim the frame. Then I made a simple bracket to mount on the radiator support to secure the intercooler. Figuring out how to position the madrel bends when you are running the piping takes a little more thought. At least for a retard such as myself
