    Speaking of Rokusek... Some one rear ended his car while parked and I think it's totaled.

    I saw that feel his pain... been there.

    From the pictures you can see the rear damage and it looks to have moved the rear left suspension way out... so likely chassis damage.

    Back to tuning questions. In my Rice Page (it's not a build page) I mentioned that as I'm doing a 4th gear WOT the intake temp spikes.

    It might be really obvious to some, but hear me out. At those speeds there is a tonne of fresh cool air entering the engine bay. So i'm assuming it's not intake temps, but Intercooler charged air that's being heating in those 5-8 seconds by
    ...what?

    Boost air temps increase because that little k04 gets super hot

    Ok, so is there much I can do about it without changing out that little K04? Its obviously the choke point then?

    Yeah, it has to work really really hard to make good boost to redline, so it has to spin the compressor all the way to it's limit, which generates a lot of heat

    Ie, spinning at 80,000 rpm vs 50,000rpm for a bigger turbo (made up numbers, but you get the idea)

    From stock, to GT3071, to substantially less modded, many lessons learned!
