Anything over 110 F in my 01 Corvette would trigger the ECU to retard the ignition. That's why I had installed a cold air "scoop" of sorts under the engine. After that, temps rarely exceeded 90 degrees.
You're in for a surprise then.
Good to know.....perhaps a CAI is in my future.You're in for a surprise then.
OEM takes air from the outside. The Supra is turbocharged. The actual charge temps pre intercooler are more like 300F+. The IAT you are seeing on that gauge is most likely after the intake manifold intercooler.
Yes, it was low to mid 70s today. So the OEM intake path is essentially a CAI, correct?
Sorta kinda. It takes air in right behind the right headlight.

My point is, the turbo heats the air up a ton, the intercooler cools it.
Depends on the dealership. I personally avoid them like the plague.
The thing that worries me a bit is that the manual states that using a device that plugs into the OBD II port can have (in some words) negative consequences with the car's electronics. They could take note of the device in case a electronics issue while under warranty surfaces.
I'm the wrong person to ask about dealers and warranties.
I can see why; the warranty department would have a field day!I'm the wrong person to ask about dealers and warranties.
My cars haven't seen a dealer for like 20 years. 95% of the time they just make things worse.
