Default most eficient FMIC for a s1/mk3 escort

hello, i have a pro alloy FMIC an my ACT's at 30 psi are 65 degress which is far too high,

are GRS front mounts a lot more efficient?

Having had my GRS for around five yeras now, I can say that the ACTs pretty much always equal the IC temperature. How much above ambient they are depends mostly on heat soak from radiator and slow car speed. highest ACTs can be seen when cruising slowly, not on track days.
