You have a fricken laser beam?
LOL no, just have a lot patience, mild OCD and access to a machine shop with a 3-axis cnc milling machine
(and few bored machinists and engineers looking for something to do aside from their normal contracts with local construction companies.)
I love it man, here's my back yard version of a massive WTA intercooler/3. 5" plenum inlet manifold I made a few weeks ago 
Mark where did you pick up these little temp gauges?
maat

75% efficiency at full heat soak cool.
78% not towing.
would be curious to see how the big ebay front mount performs at that speed.
Yes but its also 120kph. Where its always been at higher speed a noticeable drop in performance due to air deflection for both front mount and wta intercoolers. We have an 80 series with a 600 x 350 x 100mm thick front mount - you cant fit anything physically bigger than this in. Does alright but you would expect better. The WTA at highway speeds is better, but not by a huge margin. Anything else though its WTA, in some circustances it absolutely kills it.
What's ambient temp?
bigger isn't necessarily better if you can't get the airflow through to cool it.
About 30*C. No heat soak though. Thats as high as the gauge goes. Temps were still climbing at 148. Melted the plastic bit off the probe
no way in terms of thickness of the core.
your home built one does pretty good.
