I ask because it's possible the air going over the roof and flowing down over the back window and into the intercooler is a relatively smooth flow pattern when the roof is closed.. and maybe it becomes disrupted with turbulance when the sunroof is open.
Does the intercoolerd air temperature raise a little when the sunroof is open?
I'm also interested in data supporting this. On my 3.0 (non intercooler) I see a rise in oil temps on 90 deg days If I have my sunroof open. Temps drop if I close it.
