This graph shows the change in inlet air temperature between the two runs. Activation of the NX ring showed a drop in air temperature of over 20-degrees, on an already efficient ATA intercooler. A little more efficient positioning of the ring might result in even greater power gains in the real world.

The turbo LS was run with and without activation of the N-Tercooler ring. The change in charge temperature improved the power output over 25 horsepower and nearly as much torque. Cooler really is better.
