In addition to receiving the Eurodyne Boost Manager back, described below, I received a K-type thermocouple from Auber instruments that I intend to use in conjunction with the Innovate LMA-3 Aux Box to take some high temperature readings.
Auber Instruments K-type thermocouple
I’ve been encountering difficulty with getting the Eurodyne Boost Manager water injection controller to work. After contacting Eurodyne they informed me that there have been some updates to the component and advised me to send the controller back so they could send me the current version.
After installing the ECS Tuning/NewSouth Performance Power Gasket and putting the car back together I went out for a drive to log the temperature of the intake manifold.
The car had not been driven for a few days while the swap was taking place, so the IM was starting off at ambient temperature, but due to the car being in the garage and the drive taking place at night as the temperatures were falling the IM temperature starts higher than the outside ambient temperature with the gasket in place.
The results are unambiguous to me that the Power Gasket does little, if anything, to lower the temperature of the intake manifold at the point along the runner that I am recording temperature.
Going from one extreme to the other, removing the stock side mount intercoolers and replacing them with AMD’s 17 charge row SMIC’s.
I get to alter the front end all over again for the Silver car. This will also mean going back to using the RS4 y-pipe instead of the stock y-pipe since I had been using the silicone couplers from the AMD IC outlet pipes to join the stock y-pipe to the TiAL turbo inlets.
