MC:>Also, at high load short burst, the intercooler is going to act more like a heat sink than a heat dissipation device.
And the air is thin so does not do as good a job of cooling. MC:>same amount of boost comes at a higher turbo RPM The first thing that this brings to mind is intake temperatures (due to the high ambient temperatures and the high pressure ratio on the compressor). Are there any good rules of thumb regarding inlet temperatures? thanks, Eric Schieb Mark Cookson wrote: > The only point of interest I can offer is that the same amount of boost > comes at a higher turbo RPM (say 100k RPM instead of 90k RPM), so be aware > of over spinning the turbo (shaft end play, lubrication, etc). > Also, at high load short burst, the intercooler is going to act more like a > heat sink than a heat dissipation device.
