Cheap hp mod or a waste of time?
How come nobody has ever super insulated the ic outflow piping to keep the charge from warming up on the way to the intake manifold? Hmmmm?

I KNOW that I've seen this in Japan. Instead of insulating the pipes, some companies (maybe Border Racing or 5Zigen, I can't remember which one exactly) had cooling fins on a certain part of the piping. This may not be as effective as insulated piping, but the amount of space required would be much less.
Sorry, but I don't have pics of this, but you can imagine what I mean.

Thanks for the correction. Time for my daily dose of coffee.

don't race, don't need to
Are you talking about the stock IC transfer/elbow? These are plastic, which absorbs and retains heat the least of the materials in the engine, right?
