I find that removing the diverter and just using the foam method I have here actually cools very very well. The other night I gunned it on the freeway (around 2am) and hit 16lbs of boost with an ambient temp. of 61F, my IAT was at 80F; only an 18F increase. People normally get +20F while cruising. Of course I did use my misting device too
No, sadly I don't. But I will totally give this a shot now, thanks
