dont worry until you are over 70 degrees, but of course the lower the better.

Unless you buy the big Daddy Pace intercooler which is the absolute bollocks

The diddy Pace is better than stock but typically it struggles. Saying that I've just fitted a diddy Escort RS Pace intercooler to my Fiesta as the chargecooler was doing my head in.

idealy you want to be seeing 30-40oC after a top speed run.

the colder the better, unless your running a carb turbo, and then it freezes the carb.
