Hey,

Maybe Peter Farrell should call Norm Garrett to see how it is properly done,
Jared's previous msg. claimed that the Sebring only raises the intake 
temp. by 30 deg. F, without the aid of an intercooler. :-> 

>From the pictures in SCI, the purple car looks like it has the Sebring 
plumbing.

	cheers,

	- Steve, who is just poking fun at all of this.

>From: Jared Stack 

>> o Intercooler is not required.
>> o The maximum temperture gain on a hot day for the Sebring application is
>> 30 degrees net over the standard engine intake port temperture.

>    He stated that the reason they went with the supercharger was because
    Mazda wanted to know how and if it could be done.  The reason they
    put an intercooler on it was because they were getting charge temperatures
    in excess of 250 degrees, with only 6psi of boost.  They had to cool
    that down some, it would be detrimental to the engine otherwise.  With
    the intercooler I think he said teh charge temps were around 185 degrees,
