It may be simply that he doesn't WANT to understand. A simple afternoon in the kitchen with a hot oven and a fan would convince him. But that would require him to be open-minded about it. <-------- That'* called peer pressure.

Dirthead, I have a spare 'scrap' Gen2 M62 housing here. Want me to heat it to 300° in the oven and put a high-velocity fan in front of the inlet and measure the outlet temps? I think you'll be surprised. I understand how heat transfer works very well, which is why I haven't done it. Think about an INTERCOOLER. How thick is the core? And how much heat does it remove?

Paul, I have an L67 TB here. Want me to drill it, or leave it for you? It doesn't have to be done right away. All it costs you later is a couple gaskets.

No, don't drill it in case I decide to leave it blocked.
Except for the one time a year I race it, the rest of the time it rarely gets hot enough to make much difference.

I will PM Rogue and ask him what he did and why INTENSE effectively blocks it by not providing coolant passages in the adapter plate.

It looks like Wil summed it up with all the diagrams of heat on a supercharger. On this note, to gain hp, you can run a intercooler for the incoming heat from the supercharger into the intake. As everyone sees where the heat is, thats where the air flows into the intake. I believe ZZPerformance has a intercooler for under 300 dollars and will help you gain hp if thats what your looking for. Although I dont believe its really necessary to use one for our bonnes. Well done Wil great pics and diagrams as well as techinfo knowledge.

The original poster does not have a supercharger.
