Compressor Inlet Line
The compressor inlet line will run from the pressurized side of the engine intake
system (i.e. intake manifold) to the compressor inlet port.

Recommended Test Procedure to Measure Max Compressor Inlet Temperature:
Install a temperature probe in the air compressor inlet hose or fitting as close to the
compressor as possible. Operate the vehicle such that the engine is at operating
temperature at conditions resulting in maximum inlet air temperature (i.e. engine load,
RPM, etc). Record the compressor air inlet temperature and note the ambient
temperature.
Ambient temperature during test: ___________________
Is the maximum inlet air temperature greater than 250°F? YES NO
Maximum boost pressure @ XXXX engine rpm __________________________
(Supply maximum boost vs engine RPM curves)
