Bit worried about the heat its passing on.
The cooler itself is set up on the shroud and sits nicely.

But the outlet pipe to the engine inlet is too hot to touch after a run out.As that is the cool side I expected better.
Std ct26 at 0.8 bar.

Lot of power being lost by such a high inlet temp.
There is your problem"ebay"
How can you buy a cheap intercooler made in China and think it will work better than the stock Toyota one?
Water injection will stop knock but will never cool down your inlet air.

Only reason an ebay china IC would be better than stock is its a copy of something thats had some RnD put into it.

I am currently looking at China coolers as I cannot fit my charge cooler due to a shmooved in front bumper on my current MR2.
