Well mine is moved. Will have results tomorrow, hopefully I can drop the temps below 80* once the fan kicks on...i haven't seemed to be able to do this yet, even after I start cruising again.

wonderfullness!!!!
my typical drive to work hardly will even activate the fans, this morning was no exception. During my drive my intake temps hovered at 70-72°. Ambient was somewhere at 68-69°. Never increased at any light, even the 5 minute one I always start to heatsoak at. My highest temperature at idle was 73°. Once I boost I can actually see the temperatures increase to 80° by redline, as soon as I left off, the temperatures instantly dropped as well back down to 73°.
So I'm happy, no more +90° temps at idle and watch my AITs drop when I hit boost. Now I can actually see what's going on. Should have done this a long time ago, but I'm so lazy.
