CX-5 Turbo with Corksport FMIC + Piping upgrade Performance

It’s been around 200 mi since I’ve installed the Corksport Front Mount Intercooler with piping upgrade kit on my 2019 CX-5 2.5T. Fortunately, my install seems to be successful (i.e. normal fuel trim levels, normal boost pressures of -11 to -8 psi at idle, no CELs).

For those with stock intercoolers, just wondering what differences in Ambient (AT) and intake manifold temp (IT) readings are you guys getting?

I’m using an Ultragauge EM (v1.4) OBD2 scanner, and with the CS FMIC + piping upgrade, I’ve noticed that when I’m driving and depending on driving style my IT is on average 3 degrees F and ranging from around 0 to 9 degrees F warmer than AT. I’ve never seen it more than 9 degrees warmer than AT when driving. At idle/park after driving (and depending on weather) I do get around 20-30 degrees warmer IP. 😅
