Default Magnuson question

Is anyone using some type of air cooling with their Magnuson setup. My tuning showed extreme temps above 4000 rpms. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if so what you might have done to alleviate it. Thanks for any help!

Hello there.
Where did you buy your setup and what kind of tuning do you use? The programmer that came with the kit?
What kind of intake do you have?

What is getting hot? The water temperature, oil, or the unit itself? I am thinking of getting one of these because of the no problem thing.

We ran an LS1 edit and the air temps going into the unit were very high.

The IAT sensor picks up the heated air charge.

What is "extreme"? What is "very high"? Quantify these- compressors heat air, no getting around that- are you talking outside of actual service limits, or just your seat-of-the-pants impression? Seems a bit hyperbolic to worry about stuff that Magnuson engineers deem OK......
