Actually, I have HARD data that says otherwise.

I spent a WEEK with laser testers and that IC, and I tell you there's NO heat soak on my car unless it's sitting idle for longer then 3 minutes. Nobody wants to believe me until I make them touch it with their hands after a drive. But hey, I don't have to convince anybody. I know it works, and that's all that matters.

I didnt have to spend a week, i drove in moderate traffic and traffic lights, met up with a couple friends, popped my hood, and my intercooler was almost hot to the touch. Dont need a laser tester to prove that.

And i also have an SC50 with a Bobs log...

Why do all of us TFers still have that dirty old cam bolt on the shiny new cam gear. I wanted to clean mine but I installed mine via the shortcut way.

I coated my ported E6, turbine housing, and down elbow. Plus I've removed all of my A/C and underhood liner and rubber IC seal. The IC is painted with heat paint as well. I did all of my testing in moderate traffic in WA state with a $1200 laser temp gun borrowed from the US Coast Guard to measure temps on turbo's in boats. I did a LOT of adjusting, tuning, and "messing with" the IC to get some #'s.

Heat soak is near immediate in heavy traffic, stop-and-go, and hot idle. Given a "cool-down" at the end of a run (for oil pen 15ing) however seems to last 2-3 minutes as long as ambient is ~65* or less.

WATER temp had the biggest impact on IC temp (outside of the coatings). A 160* Tstat does WONDERS for underhood temps and detonation.

Granted, it's not perfect. But compared to massive boost loss it's pretty good. I still think air/water is the way to go, especially on a daily driver.

The bolt bothers me too :hick:

Due to wheelbase difference's Tbird lines will not fit a Lincoln. You will have to cut and splice them if you didn't already know this.

Smoking issue is GONE. Prototype MaxPSI oil return line kinked. A new stock-length solved the issue permanently. Boost turned up to 15# and I'm living the good life!
