My m122 keeps making boost when I no lift shift on gear changes. Plus the blower gets way more whiney.

If you can get no lift shift and a 2 step setup you'll be in business!
 
The only reason the boost drops is because the throttle closes. There is zero spool to a PD blower.

Yes, my point. In recovering from dropped boost, a turbo has lag where a blower doesn't.

OK, it seemed like you were implying in Mike's case that it was affecting him just because you highlighted it. The real issue is if he's off boost, he's off the throttle.
 
But, for the quarter mile autos work great.

I also agree that the 1/4 mile is vastly overrated as a performance benchmark. The Buick turbo is a good example. The intercooled version was king of the strip for a while, but it had by far the most turbo lag of all the Buick turbos. So how useful was that power on the road?

Stomp on, bro!

My first post was a little cryptic. It was like 2 AM or so. My attempt to repair things may be struggling some also. :mrgreen:

Mike is the intercooler temp the water temp of the system?

There are two separate cooling systems, one for the engine and one for the supercharger. The LTR actually has three radiators and two cooling bricks in the intake. It measures the water temperature and air temperature in multiple locations.

Right, I get the separate water systems for engine and intercooler. I was wondering what intercooler temp actually is? Because its water temp won't necessarily equal the IATs going into the engine. I think you had 3 different IATs?

Ah, well I'd have to look at the sensors differently. I do know that when I use the cooldown mode it closes the gap between the intercooler fluid temp and ambient temps; and it is only about 50*F over ambient. Hope that helps.

Yeah, I'm just curious how Dodge does it and it helps a ton that you can log this stuff. I'm just nerding out.

I had to read this non-sense 3 times to try and understand what you were trying to say.

Please enlighten me.

Nothing here is accurate. You obviously have never owned a turbo car. A 3 cylinder Firefly doesn't count.
