if your iat temps are hitting 180-190 your intercooler pump is not working. how are you getting your iat temps? if your reading the dash, thats your engine coolant temp, not your iat temps

What they all said.... you need an interceptor or hptuners to read IAT2's.

If you are in fact seeing 180-190 your pump is shot. Swap it out for a new one and call it a day.

You would be surprised how many people do just that.

Replace your pump first, and see where that gets you before you start throwing other parts at it. Also, the ZZP spacer is no good, it usually leaks.
