Is that pretty good for a Radish? I htink most of the turbo setups I have seen run about 10-15deg above ambient.

When we datat logged my truck it would sit at 80deg with an ambient temp of 68deg. I think Jim is about the same and same with Jerry2500.

What are other Radix guys seeing?

not really sure what other Radix guys are seeing. That was the first time I did any IAT logging so I will get a better feel for this as I go along.

when you say sit at 80 deg? what driving condition are stating?

I mean that it almost didn't matter what i did. If I sat there at idle for 5min while then temps would go up a bit higher but as soon as I started moving it dropped right back down to about 80deg. Even while driivng really slow like you said. I don't make near the heat you do with your modified roots though so that would account for most of it. I don't don't the efficiency of your intercooler. Was just curious what everyone else gets.

The few times I've watched mine via Predator, in 60* weather, IAT would be about 80 while cruizing around town and some highway. After multiple WOT passes it would get around 120-130. I have water and water wetter in my system. I'm going to look into an ice box type of setup.

where is your IAT sensor located on your setup?
