I was just wondering how I am going to be able to judge whether the boot mount intercooler and the boot mounted scoop etc.. is going to be working efficiently? I may not have a big enough scoop, or the air pressure underneath may be too great, or the cooling fan may not work properly at motorway speeds....
Is there any way of measuring the intake temperatures, say before the IC and after it, to judge its effectiveness? If you could use some kind of temperature sensor then you could wire them into a couple of gauges up front -> pre-intercooler temp and post-intercooler temp.
Whats the best way of doing this? Drilling a hole in the hardpipes that go to and from the intercooler? Has anyone done this?
