Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 6m 19d Gender: Not Telling Posted 08/04/12 11:35 AM Author Share Posted 08/04/12 11:35 AM the air goes from outside of car to the turbo in like a second. then through cooler to throttle body in like another second. no time to heat up from engine bay temps. only the turbo will cook the air, that's what an intercooler is for.Staino true, although, as I'm sure you are aware the greater the compression of air (boost pressure), the higher the air temperature also.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 10m 9d Gender: Male Posted 08/04/12 01:20 PM Share Posted 08/04/12 01:20 PM You are splitting hairs here. Whether your crossover pipe is shiny, black, pink or blue it aint gonna make a difference. The crossover design is flawed for performance work but for emissions is fine and I suspect is the reason why they keep it.That convoluted piping in the engine bay does heat up the air, as to how much just put a few temp sensors around and you will find out. If you think cleaning up the crossover is gonna make a different, it aint. Spend time elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think cleaning up the crossover is gonna make a different, it aint. Spend time elsewhere.I agree that the crossover placement and colour, do indicate that it is an attempt to increase intake temps for emission controls. But if I can reduce the impact of the crossover on intake temps then surely that's a good thing. Further, do you have any further susgestions that don't involve changing stock items, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These mods you are attempting would net no more gain than putting the windows up while driving. As mentioned you're better off spending time on other stuff, like threads on here about future mods you'll do Save up for some mods then get some more power out of it dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
