High intake temps?

High intake temps?
It's been getting hotter here in so cal (not super hot though) and I think my setup is being affected by it quite heavily.
This is a single pull and as you can see intake temps get pretty high. And with the MAT based timing retard I'm out like 3 degrees by 135F. Are these normal temps? Ambient temp is only like 83F and cruising temps stay around 90-95F. Maybe that eBay intercooler I got an inter-heater or something. This is on a 2554R btw.

I went full baller and bought a Garrett 24x6.5x3 core with cast endtanks. Should be here by next week and I'm expecting it to make a pretty big difference

I have a thread on the same exact thing. You need a better intercooler. Probably that core does not have turbulators internally. My vibrant 12800 which is a decent intercooler also lacks internal turbulators and it heatsoaks pretty quick although not nearly as bad as yours is.

I'll go post my data there. Are there any currently known "ebay intercoolers" that people are buying? I checked out the sticky post, all the links there don't work anymore. only link in that thread that works and I'm unsure if it's good or not. Or do I have to go baller?

What intercooler are you using now? Has the car been on a dyno at current boost levels? When you reach the limit of what the turbo can flow you start making a ton of heat. If that's the case a better intercooler won't really help you. Can you turn the boost down a couple psi and get another log?

I'm not definitively saying he's out of turbo, but I think in his case he's close enough that it should be investigated before assuming the intercooler is insufficient.

If you are going to do an ebay intercooler, find one that has a picture looking in one of the ports and see if it has dense tuebulators. My ebay one was a whole $70 and I haven't seen anything above 30F above ambient running 10psi on a TD04L-13T.
Heck, I would have to check logs, but even with my air heater JRSC spinning at 17krpm (way over spinning) I was only seeing the kinds of temperature rises you are seeing with the turbo. (60-70F over ambient)

How do these look?
Did you get that one that deezums found?
