My rs6 has Wagner intercoolers and I was doing some recent maintenance and noted when watching my air intake temps, they have been around 150-170F during around our 80 degree weather right now at cruising speeds. Does that seem a bit high as I was wondering if I am losing power because of inefficient cooling or bad sensor. I have no codes when I check with vagcom.
That's a good question. I am 2k miles away from my car but I'll have to log the temps when I get to it. I'll have to log the temps on my '13 S5 3.0 Supercharged Stg2+ and see how they're doing. I do have a larger Intercooler (water to air) cooler, and am in Hawaii right now so looking at 80'+ temps and higher humidity.

While this is not a direct one to one comparison, my stage 3 2.7t audi in similar conditions, also with larger intercoolers runs around 100f for air intake temps.
Well, I'd think with the Wagners it would be running cooler. I'd imagine your Stg3 2.7t has aftermarket Intercoolers too?
