TB993TT , Yesterday late at night i was coming back home from my freinds , it was about 3 am , temparature was about 38 but there was barely a breath of air outside and was humid.... full boost 1st , 2nd , 3rd , as soon as i hit 4th i felt like something was stoping my car was definatly an agressive pull of timing , at around 220 boost went down to 1 bar , at 230ish it went down to .7 , to conclude what i said on my prevoius runs when it showed 70 - 84.7 degs iats boost was fluctuating between 1.1 , 1 , 1.2 bar without the arrow , so i beleive that the iats maybe hitted near the 100 degree range to have this sort of power reduction...... i was told by Ruf that on the best conditions the car should boost 1.4 - 1.5 bar ( when the arrow comes up beside the boost display) so at 230 km the boost was cut down by 47% than its boost output in perfect conditions , we all know that our cars are relying on boost to produce power , so this means that the car was using only 53% of its power :(
So i beleive the budget intercooler or any effiecnt intercooler out there can compensate for the heat and make the car run close to optimal conditions.
FYI , i contacted a reputed tuner he told me evrey degree that is droped in IATS equals a degree droped in EGTS
so even if you are not quite happy with your results , your car is running more efficient which will lead to better fuel consumption , cooler combustion chamber and less overall stress on your engine.
Now for me i am very confused i want to pull the triger on one of these intercoolers out there , i am not sure whether its going to be AWEs , or the 4.5in Protomotive intercoolers , or the new budget intercooler.....................
