BRP/SOT Hotside SC Install
I have installed the higher boost pulley (135mm vs 126mm) - looks like a 1.5 to 2 psi increase in boost. Due to the 110+ degree temps here in AZ I have not dyno'd and am not pushing it to hard.

That climate is the upper boundary for what this kit would be exposed to, I imagine. Would be very helpful for people to know just how well it works in such conditions. With a 600hp intercooler system on a car that's in the low 400's (crank), I would think it can sufficiently cool that hot desert air... but expectations and real world are often quite different.

Do you have wideband or EGT such that you know if it's running excessively lean? Any kind of additional knock protection?

There is a little spark knock in late afternoon when it is 115F ambient if I boost any after being in stop and go traffic but I have not tweaked my timing for the summer tune.
My IAT's run about 30 degrees above ambient with this IC setup. I am adding a higher flow pump to see if that will drop the temps a little closer to ambient.
I have some idle droop issues also in the afternoon while in stop and go city traffic, guessing that heat soak is the primary culprit since it does not happen below 100F (morning and evening temps). Otherwise it runs well.





Holy flaming exhaust, Batman!
