    I know the scoop was the only thing just fitted, and you had the inter-cooler prior. I just thought the scoop spreading more airflow across more surface of the ARE inter-cooler (which are meant to be good), would have dropped temps a tad more than what you got.

    And as mudski said, you will get good results with the manual boost control the dawes and needle valves alone gave me the best results, on top of the exhaust, intercooler etc...

    That was also with boat in tow.
    Today was my turn to drive to Waurn ponds and today I cruised at 103/105kph sitting on about 400 c and the climbs were 500 instead of 600.

    You would need to do something of course if you wanted it centered.
