Decided to take a look at IATs today to make me smile. Used obdEleven for simplicity. Low and behold they were quite higher than they should have been. The morning before I took some logs and they were fine. Temps were 71F ambient both days. Intake temps were 100F+. They would drop in an aftermarket intercooler trend, but were just too high for something not to have been wrong. Boost and all looked good, timing wasn't too far off.
Checked all hoses and and everything looked great. Was gonna just leave it to heat soak, but something was fishy. Took the intake cowl off and was inspecting the seal etc. Went to reinstall and sure enough, I had not seated it into the grill all the way. Hopefully that helps. Didn't remember it installing that far. I had installed it into the first bolt slot that is actually for the tab to seat into.
Just a lesson from someone who missed that detail.
