I need help please

[ATTACH]undefined[/ATTACH]Hello guys,

I just put on a FTP chargepipe and a Wagner stage 1 comp intercooler on my 135i LCI,
On the way home everything was fine but when i got into my car this morning and started driving i noticed something off with the temps. With the stock intercooler the temps stayed relatively consistent. But now the temp keeps jumping up and down, the video starts at 18,8 then jumps to 19,5 and then back down to 18,0 just when cruising 50 km/h. Is this normal ?

I put the video on youtube because i cant seem to get it to go in this post

I don't have a lot of experience with intercoolers. And I am definitely not a data logger. But I see that your speed was not consistent. That really isn't much of a temperature fluctuation. If you saw it jump from 18c to 45c and back, that might be cause for concern. I'd say that it is probably working great. Compressed air (from the turbos) will be warmer than ambient. If the car is running well and you have no error codes, why worry?

F21...you are in the wrong subfrum.

Anyways, temperature fluctuates all the time. This is normal. But people don't know because they are used to a gauge that is buffered to the extreme, making it a very fancy idiot light.
