I think he means the heat exchanger coolant is only lukewarm.

Mine had same issue.......my fix was a bad ground on the relay that powers the intercooler pump I doubt you have a bad pump mine is almost 2yrs old and still works great

Correct, the heat exchanger fluid is luke warm. So you guys are saying that this could be normal in cruising and when I'm not getting into boost? My shop told me to start the car and let it run, open up the cap and see if the fluid swirls. If it does it's circulating. I'm going to check that tonight to rule out a bad pump.

I did find out I'm making about 8 lbs of boost, so that will help with the meth install. I just feel like my car isn't running quite right. It only made 491 at the wheels with my mods (auto) and I feel like it should have made more. Went from 370 pre blower to 491. I'm going to have the shop email me the tune.

Also, @Ted. My shop tells me I'm running 60 lb injectors at 60-70% duty cycle. My KB boost a pump is set to max (rich). This make any sense to you ? I'm not mechanical at all.

I think your numbers are pretty close to being right for an auto with no cam.

I was thinking that that. 8lbs of boost through a auto, with no Cam should be near 500rwhp.

Sounds about right, 505 RWHP on 93 Octane with Headers is the target, 1 degree of timing, if the engine wants it can easily get you there but logging and AFR readings must be checked first.

And your before and after numbers were same dyno, right before the install?
What kind of dyno? Dyno vs dyno will be different many times. Close...but not apples to apples.
