I noticed this a while ago, but never got around to asking the question.
On the AP, there is the option to monitor "boosted temp". first off, I assume this is the temp of the air after the turbocharger (air is boosted).
Can anyone explain to me why the temp actually goes DOWN when I go into boost? The air is compressed so it should heat up. My only ideas is,
1. it has something to do with sucking in all the hot engine air then pulling in the cool ambient air...and temp goes down.
2. Something with the intercooler being able to cool the air better when a large amount of air is flowing through it.
Also, anyone know the temp where pre-det can start to occur due to the extremely hot intake temp?
