Worked good 75F OAT for 45 min, 60-70 MPH. As soon as I hit city stop and go oil got to hot and boost fell off.


I am going to work on adding airflow to the coolers fan system.


Note: the under hood temp will burn you on any item you touch. The SC fluid in the tank is 155-160F (after a 1.5 hour heat soak drive and a 15 min cool down)
I took me 15 min to find my thermometer.

During the 15 min cool down the oil temp fell from 220 to 190F. If the SC fluid fell the same amount, my max temp is 185-190F is over the rotrex 175F limit.
