After Market Intercooler & Engine Bay temps

[Coogs]

Hey threedogs, Just running 'standard boost'. At times has spiked just over 21psi but I've read that the CRD handles/manages/tolerates boost better than the 3L Di. Read somewhere on this forum that the CRD does OK w/o Dawes etc. What do u think? .........

My egt's dropped that by just changing the scoop to an A.R.E scoop with a stock IC. Changed the ic, not a CC cooler, and the egt's remained the same but did notice they drop slightly faster than before.

Decided to upgrade the intercooler now rather than later. Will see how that effects EGT's & performance. Should say performance for me is about towing 1.5t camper trailer. had some scary EGT's last year on Bloomfield & Kingfisher way.
Have checked the ARE scoop but after paying for the CCI another $585 is bit much to soon. Do you know anything about "Barneys Scoop"?

do you think you are getting value for money spent with a CC intercooler dropping 50 to 100 degrees, I get that with my set up over STD
as Mudski said with an OE tigged IC and a larger scoop will have you plenty $$$$$ left over for other mods.
Just don't want to see you blow your $$$ when for less you can achieve the save thing

Just about every intercooler on the market will give you that kind of reduction. The difference is how long until the heat overcomes it and its tank and core design/quality
Even my intercooler takes about that off, but on the long hills, (out of marysville when I was down there for example) AB hit 500 no cooler and backed off, winnie hit 400 and backed off, I was still at 280 and I didnt back off
