Hi Andy,

I haven't had any problems with the 765 since the turbo came off 2500 miles ago, but it did the same thing. I haven't noticed it with the 245 or the 940 and, as for the Honda Civic, well that is another board...

Hot air has much less capability to carry oxygen that cool air, that directly translates to a power loss if you are pulling hot air from the engine compartment and trying to compress it with the turbo. "although I do not think this is much of an issue as the hot air pipe to the manifold is not there". If your T-stat is not working properly or crud is built up in the flap mechanism, you will pull the engine heated air directly into the intake. The hotter the air the less HP you are going to make. Forget about the plastic intercooler, the heat transfer characteristics of plastic are minimal.

Put the $16.00 pipe back on.

Regards,
