The only worry about charge coolers is that if the core leaks you an end up drowning your engine in water.

Bit of data on the Precision PT1001 in case anyone's interested...

We've got:

- Ambient air temp measured in the air filter
- Air temperature measured at the inlet to the charge cooler
- Air temperature measured before the throttle plate

Lower graph shows manifold pressure.

I didn't realise just how hot the air coming out of the compressor actually gets- the temp sensor I'm using saturates at 130c, which is why it flat lines at peak temps.

Still- shows how well the core is working...ideally I'l like to see what happens to inlet air temps under sustained boost to see where they stop rising and plateau, but I just can't do that on the road without losing my licence :lol:
