Jase,

I'm intrigued.
So the 'ambient' temp was measured in the engine bay at the airbox.
And the final temp was measured after the intercooler, i assume somewhere near the throttle body.
The intercooler was a standard, nothing special, large air-to-air unit.

That's what i got out of it.

Now my questions:
Do you know roughly how much boost was being run?
Do you know if the Turbo was a stock T28 or different?
Do you remember roughly what the temperatures measured were?

The only thing i can thing of is that the intake temp in the engine bay actually was above the ambient air temp by quite a bit and the massive cooler core managed to bring the charge air down close to ambient.
If large boost is being used then charge air temps tend to skyrocket as the turbo gets well out of it's efficient range.
A turbo running low boost at it's maximum efficiency will produce the lowest charge air temperature which could possibly be cooled to ambient by a large cooler but certainly not below.
Also remember that the rate of cooling depends on the temperature difference - so hot air will be cooled quickly at first and as it approaches the ambient temp it will slow down and take a long time to actually reach it.
