Heat and Turbo Lag Issues?

[McLeadslinger]

IAT’s are probably too high and the PCM is pulling timing. The stock intercooler isn’t efficient enough to cool hot charge air with equally hot Ambient temps fighting it.

I've logged Iats pulling a 5300lb car hauler in mid 90* temperatures and my charge temps never strayed above 10-15* over ambient unless I was stopped idling.

I was all set on upgrading intercooler even before I got the truck because I do most of my towing in the ball sweat heat of summer. I actually logged my temps and saw how small my temp delta was in boost and how quickly it recovers I decided to pass.

I've looked over mountune's data and I wish they'd posted their testing methodology because their data makes absolutely no sense.

Even still, the off idle heat soak it seems op is experiencing is going to be unavoidable in nearly 120 ambient temperatures, regardless of the intercooler.

What sensor where you looking at? I haven't towed yet as I just recently got my truck, but I have three different sensors reading out.

I do plan to get data once I load up the trailer, but I've also held onto the Mountune intercooler I bought awhile back during a sale, in the event that I need it.

I honestly don't remember which PID I logged, but in hindsight it's very possible I was looking at the upstream IAT's not the charge temps.
