Default What sort of charge temps are you running?

I pulled my finger out, and the Ka isnt far off.

I was wondering what sort of charge temps you lot run? i cant run any sexy pace/grs front mount for obvious reason. But the cooler i do have fills every inch avaliable on the front of the Ka Its something like 600mm x 175mm x 65mm

Want to know how effectve its gonna be, or restrictive at all.

My Pace front mount rarely see's above 33degrees on the move. If it does stray over 40 then I can use the water injection but so far it hasn't been required

James Raby,

Why do you want it on the hot side for?
Want it as it comes out of the cold pipe (as that's what the true reading of the cooler is) AND on the inlet manifold IMO
