So quick update.....I did a few things to try and bring temps down. Now while I really didn't make my charge temps lower I did notice operating temps went down roughly 5 degrees. So before during normal driving after driving around town temps would sit right around 130 (stoplight) at idle then while cruising go down to about 115 and under boost go back up to 120. This time around in similar 95-100 degree weather I noticed idle temps were around 125 would drop to around 110 and under boost go up to 115.
In 75 degree weather. Idle temps sat around 105 drop to 95 under cruising and back up to 109 under boost. Now in comparison with other conventional boost applications. 120 charge temps seems to be normal and for me on hot summer days seems to be my max given without an intercooler. So it's safe to safe I'm good to run without one. So a few of the things I did was wrap the pipes with gold heat wrap. Added a filter heat shield to the in bay filter. Added a heatsink on the maf sensor. And installed these fin pipes in place of where an intercooler would sit. those pipes act almost like a large heatsink.
