The COVID19 SCAMdemic... California Nears $8 Gallon Gas - Biden Sends Zelenskyyy $61 Billion

Without knowing the delta, any post intercooler data is pretty useless though.

Almost. Knowing ambient temps help. It isn’t a perfect post compression delta though.

but if it’s 90f and post intercooler reads 100f on car 1. But post intercooler reads 120f on car two. One can draw some conclusions if both cars are identical with different intercoolers.

Since the general assumed consensus is that an upgraded stock location replacement will beat a front mount, I'm going to place the burden of evidence on you guys. Do you have anything to back up a FMIC being better than a direct fit upgrade?

Here is something ECS did. The numbers between the FMIC and factory location one isn't huge. It looks like they tapped the end tanks with temp sensors.

I have the Neuspeed FMIC (booo hisss). I'll see 5 to 20 degrees above ambient depending on how much throttle I'm giving.

You can get on Reddit and ask. Give it a few hours and you’ll be up to your gills in logs. And it does make sense, stock location intercoolers (both stock and upgrades) have crazy high inlet temps

Reddit isn't good for anything but pictures of GTI's. Want horrible, wrong information? Go to reddit.

Lots of accessport users there tho. It’s wheel Wednesday my dudes!

Shhhh... wait until they find all the previous intercooler threads.

Edit: Also wap was dfd mass exodus I think

Idk what dfd is tbh

Obviously that goes without saying.

the biggest issue with data is temp data. That’s post intercooler in the intake manifold. There’s no way to gather any other relevant temp data pre and post turbo. Unless u rig a ton of sensors

Pretty sure I saw some mk6 heavy track guys reporting high engine temps with FMIC. Not sure if they had removed the stock location or not.

They made their own 'Parler'

Ah ok

Also, this page count is getting higher than IATs without an intercooler. 1900 imminent!

I can imagine that being true especially on track. If it comes to it, if I can’t do two laps in a row, I’ll swap to a larger radiator.

Nice info.

Here's the back to back pull data on the ARM from Mygolf:

We are getting stronger. Just don’t tell Jim. He’ll say this is the biggest thread in mk5 history or some shit

A Few threads mention either the AC having to work harder, or not blowing as cool, some claim higher coolants. Though I've never seen any of these complaints coming from someone with a FMIC.. just being made.

That looks really good. On that first graph, at the end. It’s as if the arm wants to hold the heat for a wee bit before temps start dipping. I’ve seen this same behavior from the arm logs I’ve seen. They claim this intercooler can take over 500hp. There’s no way it’ll take more than 450hp.

interesting to note just how stable the temps are.

But this thread is on the MK8 forums...
