I want to keep with the TMIC as far as possible, well certainly for the foreseeable future.

I havent got the turbo lagged but downpipe is lagged to within an inch of its life

Is it worth insulating the intercooler piping as I think the turbo will be a biatch to do?

I would defo insulate the pipe work but work towards ditching that top mount. I look at it like this. heat rises so why put shit in that area

Ooops, missed this, Yes is the answer, maybe a little more in fact, it is running on the ragged edge

With ambients of say 14deg c

Cruising i see between 1 and 3 degrees below ambient.
Full tillt through the gears up to 6th i'll see a top end of say 32/34deg c so thats about 18/20 deg c above ambient.

Dunc, 40 deg c is where personally i would rather start to back off.

where are you guys measuring the air temperature from? i have inserted mine in a blanking cap on the side of the inlet manifold.

I have mine just before the throttle body after the intercooler.
