I'm just going to bump this old thread here.

 

My turbo territory with its stock top mount intercooler would heat soak easily, when accelerating from a standstill it would go from ambientish to around 85 deg c by the time you at 110kph / end of third.

after installing a 400x600x76 core front mount the intake temps would basically match ambient temp . the same 0-110 test and it would barely raise 5 degrees c.

 

turbo r31 barra with no intercooler, temp when no  boost is anywhere from 40 to 55 deg c, as soon as the boost hits + 800 ish-rpm it will be over 85 deg c.

this has water meth injection and the current setup sees consistent low 60deg c when turned on and car on boost.

 

a falcon will usually start to pull timing after 100 deg F /  38 deg c, then ramp this up after 150deg f / 65degc.

so ideally you want your charge temp to be below 38deg c to maintain power levels.
