Ok, so I'm not at all concerned with turns whether the turn is harsh or not. A discussion about turns, angles, et cetera is basically a discussion about CFM. That's not my point. My point, whether it can be measured or not, is about heat transfer. This is true whether we're talking about a pressurized FI air charge or NA air. So pressure has nothing to do with it.
If, for some reason, we were to run an intercooler on a normally aspirated motor my point would still have merit. At normal atmospheric pressure we could take a charge of air and blow it through a square intercooler. Divide the square into right and left halves. Cut a hole at the top right and bottom right ends. This is your intercooler. Now imagine that it has no core, that it's just an empty box. As a stream of air moves from the bottom right inlet to the top right outlet the air that is on the left hand side of the box will move in an counterclockwise elliptical pattern separately from the inlet-to-outlet airstream. Very little of the air from the stream moving from inlet to outlet gets mixed with air on the left side. And very little of the air moving in the ellipse bleeds into the straight line stream. You can actually see it in action when you're driving on the interstate and someone has a bunch of styrofoam cups and paper trash blowing in a circular ball behind the cab of a pickup truck. As long as the truck stays the same speed the trash has very little opportunity to make it into the slipstream going over the cab roof and over the top of the bed.
The same thing is happening in the intercooler in your setup. Except instead of it being an empty box your intercooler has a core. All that really does is prevent elliptical airflow. The passenger side of the intercooler isn't receiving a lot of fresh(new,hot) air to cool and that air is just kind of hanging out and bouncing around. So my point is that the way you've directed the air through the intercooler fails to make full use of the core to lower temps as much as possible. And again, it doesn't matter if it is turbocharged air or not. Fluid dynamic principles (aerodynamics) do not change based on if the fluid is pressurized or not. You can remember that fact when thinking about this in the future by reminding yourself that liquid fluids such as water cannot be compressed. Water would move through the intercooler the same way air does.
In my first post to you I said that your reasoning that pressurized air will flow through the core the same no matter where the outlet is located is incorrect. I said that based on your comment saying "I assume if it's pressurized air, that it will expand to every part of the system and therefore probably not affect performance much." I'm just saying that's not how fluid dynamics work. I don't think you have an issue, per se. But I do think that if we swapped out your 205 IC for JDMSD1's you'd have lower temps. And I say that having no idea what your temps are. It's all just something to consider for next time. Either way, great job taking the initiative to get a W2A system on the 215. Both of you are inspiring me to get off my ass and do something with the spare 215 motor I have sitting in the garage.
