Awesome work! I wonder how hot is too hot, when IAT is too hot and starts creating adverse effects like retarded timing in reaction to pre-ignition. Just a question - I'm not suggesting that it actually will. And I am sure you will give us the answers soon enough.
You are inspiring me to do the same. I would use a solenoid valve that I could control with a switch in the cabin. That way when I am mountain driving and encounter a massive hill, I switch it to "turbo mountain climb boost mode" to close the valve for a bit more jam.
EDIT: As good as this modification may be for reduced fuel consumption, I wonder how good it also is for NOx production, which would be bad unless the catalytic converter is able to eat the difference. Increased IAT = increased combustion temps = increased NOx. Unless I am missing something, which I usually am.....
