For your temperature question I would ask Mike at Moto-East. He's very familiar with the kit and the 335 kit as well. He's pretty busy however so don't expect instant turnaround with a response.

Sorry stocky - I'm not sure where you could source a temp plate from - I used a dual input temp sensor - one sensor in the airbox, the other drilled into the lower part of the blower casing. It's dead accurate, although not for the faint hearted, drilling into the casing.
Thanks for the heads up too mate, I'll hit up Mike and see what he thinks.

Seeing as e85 isn't available in the UK, my only real option is to install a meth/water injection kit which I'll be doing early next year
Air flow in and around the engine bay doesn't make a lot of difference from what I've read. It's purely the fact that the charger runs so hot as it's such a compact little unit

Holy crap man, 80 C is massive - I'm not sure what damage may happen at that temp, but it can't be good. Water/ meth injection is one option I had considered but I need to research it a bit more. Considered putting a water jet that hits the intercooler radiator to try and get the temps down?
