Intake temp on MY00-01 2.5RS

[the Dabbler]

Does anyone have intake temp numbers on a close-to-stock MY00-01 2.5RS (or later; i.e., a MAP version), as reported by the ECU?

I have a turbocharged RS with a laughably small intercooler, and I'm trying to get some baseline numbers to evaluate the IC's effectiveness. As I recall, my OBDII scanner reports intake temp numbers, so I'm looking to compare to an NA 2.5RS.

Thanks in advance.


To preempt some posts:

Yes, I know I can buy thermocouples and a reader from Radio Shack (or borrow even better ones from my lab at work), but I'm lazy, and if an OBDII scanner can tell me what I want to know, I'd just as soon use that data.

And yes, I know to get a real picture I'd have to get temps before and after the IC, and with and without the IC, etc. But I still need the normally aspirated baseline, and I'm hoping someone would have that data handy.

With the stock intake it averaged 110.
With the Ganzflow it averaged 95.
With my own design that used the hood scoop I got down to 80.
With the AEM shortram it averaged 125.

Hope this helps

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot!
