    msd dis4 with stock tach help

    If the e6k is anything like the 8860 tach output, it applies/switches ground, not B+. You can get it to read properly by wiring it up as the 8860 would be wired up to factory tach. Wire it up to an output set to "Tach out" on the e6k. After that you have to put ignition switched power to the...

    No problems, just normal operating conditions. If you want it cooler go for a bigger IC or a bigger turbo.

Imsure the air your turbo is compressing isn't the same as outside temperature because I'll bet your...

    100 degrees isnt that hot considering what the air has been threw, If you were N/A and had an inside the engine bay air filter you would most likely have the same IAT's. Like it was said intercooleres arent 100% efficient, neither are turbos, theres going to be heat generated.
