thanks Mark for sharing your observation regarding intake air temp...

I have the 10Cent oil cooler on both my Syncro and Carat. When install it I
noticed that the 2" intake hose is in front of the cooler receiving war/hot
air from it.. I used to have a Peugeot 505 Turbo Wagon (gas not diesel)
with intercooler so I understand the importance of cool air for the engine.

I was thinking to either reroute that 2" intake hose or shield it with some
kind of wrapping but I took the stance of *"wait and see"*. So far I don't
see any lost of performance or weird running issue yet - it's about 2 years
now...Since I'm not sure that rerouting or shielding it worth the effort I
left it alone...

I would like to have more feedback about this issue... btw I will ask Chris
Corkins about it and will let you guys know

thanks again
