This chart was done on a piston engine with a Spearco IC 3.5" x 8" x 20".
Ambient temps are 55 F.
Input temps to turbos are 88 F, not cold air intake.

Keep in mind these Shelby nuts are throwing 30+psi into 2.2l and 2.5l
fours. YEOW. (Usually on stock bottom ends too!)
For some, that intercooler isn't big enough. Here's a link to what is

Maybe a bit big for an FD, but for the price, it could be cut down and the
end
tanks modified.

The max limit without detonation on a Allison turbo P38 engine was 130 degrees F IIRC.
