SLK32Germany, It does appear that they're showing non-intercooled results probably for a more standardized result. Anyone have the upgraded intercooler and 185mm?

Anyone want to take a guess as to how much the IC is cooling the air?


By how much the air is cooled with the IC is difficult to say, because it depends on outside temperature, boost and the most important HOW LONG YOU STAY ON THE THROTTLE under boost. When I look at the diagrams I would estimate it is cooled down 50-60 Deg Celsius (120-140degF), when I compare it to my dataloggs.

The intercooling of our cars is only built for a short run to 250 km/h under full boost and then you drive 250 km/h with the throttle-body only "half way open". The car is at its limit only for a few seconds. For daily driving or 1/4 mile races (11-12 seconds full throttle) the Intercooling is good enough in my opinion.
