Well it's hot enough to have melted the end of the PVC, and get the pipe uncomfortably warm 4 " from the open end. I am replacing it with an aluminum tube this weekend. I think it is as warm as it needs to be to max out the sensor. I should borrow a scan tool to read the IAT. That would tell me more.
