Message	On a TTZ with GT28R turbos... the compressor maps show that there can be a loss of approx 50 horsepower if the intake air temperature raises 100 degrees F. This is for each turbo... so total hp loss could be around 100 hp if the intake temp raises 100 degrees F. Again... all cars are different! An N/A Z won't see this much power drop... and a Stock TTZ won't either. But increased intake temps do lower horsepower. I believe the main reason is because the air is less dense as it gets hotter, therefore does not have as much oxygen in it. As always... this is only my opinion. Everybody is entitled to one!!! ;) Other's opinions may vary. -Jamie

(n/m) - Mule 12:15:23 12/16/04 less than a stock n/a???? (n/m) - Mule 12:17:09 12/16/04 No... A stock TT does not use GT28R turbos! The example... - The_S_Man (Phoenix) 12:27:20 12/16/04 No. The key word is RISE of 100 deg F - chenc544 12:44:46 12/16/04 and it's a percentage, not an absolute number. - Marshall 12:52:25 12/16/04 P = (rho) RT - chenc544 12:51:48 12/16/04 Good link: - Marshall 12:43:45 12/16/04 Will it also cool the intercooler better, - CarlCuro 13:52:32 12/16/04 yes - Marshall 15:37:27 12/16/04
