90 degrees is about right for 9psi I have about the same, after my intercooler it's down to below 30 degrees. Ambient at around 12 will be better once I have a snorkle back on too.
But a rebuilt 2H should sit on a 100kmh in 4th without a turbo on the freeway, The Troopy's I have had with far more k's on the clock would bo that.
Rule of thumb is for evey 1 degree you can take from the intake temp you take 1 degree for you exhauste temp.
I would expect a Turbo 2H to purr all day at 100kmh after a rebuild.
Also an itercooler like mine cost me all up around $800Aus the water pump alone is a quater of the cost, I was lucky and picked my 4 cores up for $50US, cost more to ship them and thats if you can machine and weld all the parts cheaply as I could, you should still be in under $1000Aus, to have one made, well I was quoted as the first post says $3000 and that was only for 3 cores and I doubt it would have fitted or been as well made as mine, it maybe as the post says home brew but it a dam fine one
Another thing to think about, Air to Air is far cheaper and works well for road aplications such as freeway driving and towing, I built mine with more off road in mind low range, low speeds, high revs where an Air to Air is not effective. Horses for corses
