I think this club needs to invest some time getting a cheap Inlet temperature gauge. I myself need one now that I want to monitor what my blower will be doing next year.
This gauge will also answer alot of repeated questions about what blower upgrade to buy for my car. Alot of MPX vs MP this vs AR will be answered with this gauge. If you see temperatures rising and boost falling in the upper RPMs its time to upgrade the blower. If you are over boosting and creating too much heat you have too much of a blower for what the engine is caplable of, back off the overdrive. If you have great inlet temps but boost is falling in the upper RPMS, OD more. If you can keep boost up and temps down you got the right blower OD combo. IC choice will also play a role. Singe vs Dual vs MP......
I have seen threads of home made Inlet temp gauges and the Autometer version wich is way overpriced.
But I think for us SC owners this is a better gauge to have then a oil pressure gouge or even a water temperature gauge.
