FD3S standard intake manifold temps?

I was wondering what the standard intake manifold temp was during operation? Couldn't find it on here anywhere and figured I'd ask.

Intake Air Temps (IAT's) will vary depending on the intercooler, ambient temp, boost level, driving habits, turbos, presence of AI etc etc. Alot of variables.

lot's of variable as Sgtblue mentioned but I'll throw some temps that I've noticed out.

SoCal, 6AM and 75F outside (24c). Car starts at 21c (after sitting for 48 hours), reaches 30c by t-stat opening, 35c close to the freeway, mild but extended boost with AI, temps drops to 30c, by the freeway up to 35 again, boost (WOT) from 1500RPM to red line on the on-ramp (logging for tuning) and it holds at 35 to red line.

Coming home from work, several errands (plenty of heat soak), it's 80c by the time I pull into the driveway. I'm guessing that without the AI it would be significantly more as it was 105f (40.5c) outside at this point. I do know that if I boost a-lot I can pull the temps down rapidly due to AI. Without this they would be much higher.
