The only people I know that widely use a non-intercooled turbo are the 6.5L chevy diesel guys. I have read posts where they say 160-180'F is a normal IAT for them when rolling down the highway. A few have seen IATs peak at 300'F on hot days while towing on a hill climb.

Also I noticed the wiki had barely been up dated in the last 6 months, until I got ahold of it.
