That is interesting data Francois. The late stock Mazda
sequential turbos
had abraidable compressor housings to improve the efficiency of
the compressors.

I am sure glad you are monitoring all these parameters. Most of the guys
on here are reluctant or don't have the electronic knowledge to properly
instrument their setups. They are willing to fly it until it
breaks however :)

Tom Parkes are you still flying without a intercooler? Are you monitoring
your intake manifold air temp?

The highest intake temp I have seen is 120 deg. but I have to admit that I
have to press a button to see the intake temp so I may be missing some high
points, like take off.  My intercooler also gets PLENTY of air.

I think Francois was referring to the temp out of the compressor before
the intercooler. On the other hand his intercooler is not as well located
or as well ducted as yours IMHO.
