gee, i dunno. maybe since that's the first i've seen the answer to the question, your method is just fine.
so if the intake is coolant lined on the LD motors, the i challenge that the intake was never inteneded to act as an 'intercooler'. rather, i speculate the design intent is for...
so i read 12° of IAC temp reduction at 11psi of boost.
sorry, but that's not much to brag about. i'd be more inclined to say that the same aluminum manifold with the coolant passages blocked off would likely result in similar reductions.
i hate to call it an intercooled intake when you can...
oh, and i almost forgot the most important aspect to answering whether this is 'Myth' or 'Fact':
if the coolant in the intake manifold is intended to act as a form of 'charge air cooling', then is this same manifold not found on the non-turbo'd MFs...?
i'm having trouble with this statement.
this is the closest work-up i can find in the same pressure ranges - it shows the temperature increase of the intake air charge to be 115°F (after several assumptions are made) for an intake charge of 8 psi.
now, 8 psi is probably the max boost a MF is...
