Default Boost difference from the heat?
Guys wondering how much of a boost difference you supercharged guys see from the summer heat Vs the winter months?

Would 2lbs difference be about right?

You could see as much as 5-8psi if the intercooler gets heatsoaked like mine does in TX. For a properly working intercooler you may lose about 5psi from 50* to 100*

On my old Mustang running 12psi from a P1 it would drop almost 2psi on a very hot day.

For some reason I thought I posted this in the forced induction forum, lol.

Thanks for the info guys.

I figured at least a few lbs was acceptable to lose.
