Can't wait to see data on this. What did you use to trim that down?

Guys if this doesn’t work and you did want to raise it back up all you would need to do is machine a spacer to raise it back up.
This is a good find and hope that it does yield more accurate readings. If so mine will be coming right off and I’ll Mill it down as well.

You can't really get the paste back into the tube once it's done.....I'm wondering about the structural rigidity that's lost taking that material off. The blowers are under a lot of stress and heat especially spinning them hard. Maybe it's a non factor, I don't know.
What would have been scenario A is somehow get a longer, extended sensor...but I guess that's out of the question.
So, what is the verdict on this? I was hoping to hear some feedback on how this worked out.
Again sorry for the delay, I wanted to wait until I had a good comparison before posting any results. I went to the track today and it was unseasonably warm (74* today) so it was a good test. Even with the car fully heat soaked from sitting in the staging lanes, my IAT2's are only increasing 8-10* on a full pass (98*-108*) with no ice in the intercooler.
While remote tuning with the sensor in the OEM location my IAT2's were increasing 15-20* on a 60-100mph blast. After dropping the sensor down, the same short blast my IAT2 only went up 4*. I have probably a dozen datalogs like this so I am fairly confident with the results. This was all done on the same tune with no other changes to the car except the sensor location.
Attached is a datalog for a visual of the data from 0-135mph.

Are you interested in me sending this one to you?
