iat temps, what's normal?
Hey guys I just put on a bocsch 010 and have been monitoring temps. the car seems to run between 20 and 25 degrees warmer than the outside temperature at cruising . Is this normal on a factory setup? Thanks

Depends on the rest of your cooling setup
For a car with split cooling and pump running constantly I'd say thats normal.

Yeah thats normal. Give it a good WOT blast and see what it recovers down to. I have split cooling with additional smaller HE and pump always running. My car will cruise at 5-8 above ambient after cold start till I do a sustained WOT blast then after that i'll hover between 14 - 18 above ambient in all temps.

I do have a cold air intake I made myself and 1 cat removed. I was getting a baseline before I do split cooling and fsp. Does this sound good though so far?

Sounds good assuming 50deg ambient. Keep an eye on it after a long spirited drive to see how its holding up but it sounds good so far. I must have missed it but is your pump wired to run constantly? Also, interested in pix of your intake setup though.
