IAT reading can't be right. Do I need to rescale?

I have a 2011 mustang gt. I put on a paxton 2200sl blower. For some reason the IAT is reading around the same temp as ambient air temp. or just a few degrees warmer at the most. Is that right? I had to move the maf/IAT to put it in the new tubing that came with the paxton kit. I would just figure that the iat would run alittle warmer then a few degrees at the most with the new blower on.

really shouldn't affect IAT until building boost I know paxtons make a little at idle but shouldn't affect it. My turbo car shows like 5 warmer than ambient till the boost comes in then I can see like 120 degrees. IAT I don't 100% believe is affected by scale of motor or injector.

Mine reaches about 30 degrees over ambient near redline during a single gear street WOT pull.

My IAT2 reads 120F to 130F during hard pulls. Driving around town on cold days and not in boost, the IAT2 temps are only a few degrees above ambient.

Thanks for everyone getting back with me. I really appreciate it and now it totally makes sense to me. Thanks You.

A bit different with a TVS vs. a centri. No IAT2 on a centri.

I just wrapped up a Vortech v3 last evening and IAT's were very close to ambient and not drastically much more after a WOT pull. 10* above ambient.
