Been workking on a supercharged car, its not boosting properly and the temp after the SC and before the I.C is very high, around 75 degrees. Anyone got any ideas as to why? I have tried two different chargers with no effect.

Is 75° really that high for a FI engine? Ive had up to 60° on M50's before, obviously whilst moving, with my new airbox setup its down to 46°
This is measured off the sensor in the inlet manifold
