If someone could data log a 30 min to hour long commute not getting into it in an area that is not currently 40 to 50 degrees outside and I bet you every dollar to my name you are nowhere even in the ballpark on ambient temps... the temps you claim are not even correct for those running intercooled setups of this... so i hope you are correct as id love to get this but i wont believe it until facts are provided and verifies by anybody other than those who make their living and support their families by selling and tuning these exact items.
I honestly apprecaite the feedback but I will be the one who says put up or shut up... if i am wrong I will formally admit and apologize to whom deserve.
In all due respect the guys at magnusson are great and knowledgeable and in no means do I claim to know more than any of you (i promise you i dont) not all of your competitors in the industry are honest and forethright which makes your job harder if you are honest and truthful.

The Highest IAT occurs sitting in traffic not moving, once you begin moving the IAT comes down significantly, Every situation will give different results but the pattern will be the same.
The temp of the air entering the TB will be increased by about 10 degrees per PSI of boost at full throttle so an 80 degree day will produce about 130-140 degrees IAT at full power.
At low load cruising it could easily come within 10-20 degrees of ambient.
The point I am trying to make it that IAT does not destroy an engine like you stated in your opening statement.
At 11 psi boost I have seen IAT at 180 but with the correct timing it was never a problem.
High IAT does 2 things, it reduces density Making less power, and accelerates the burn rate.
The computer monitors IAT and backs off the timing according to the IAT so you always have optimum timing for that mixture.
Non intercooled will never make the same power as intercooled we know that, but this system is a great entry level system that is totally SAFE.
I wish I had time to go out and collect all the data but Magnuson has already done that for us and I trust them completely having a very long business relationship with them they have never steered me wrong.
