What temperature is the average air temp out of charger to intake without an intercooler?

Many factors are responsible for compressed air temperature. Ambient temperatures, pressure atmosphere, pressure discharge, humidity. You need to know many variables to calculate your discharge temperature.

Between 200-600 depending on turbo size ect an with intercoolers will be 60-100 deg intake also depending on turbo ect

On our light pro on a dyno 600 at compresor houseing 180 at the intake manifold

What if you put cooling fins on the intake tube? Or how about squirting cold water in it to keep it cool.

I admire your thinking about new ideas, however the air is moving through the pipe too fast to gain anything appreciable on the inside. I'm guessing you are not allowed water injection?

Compressor efficiency. A more efficient compressor will heat the air less Your idea of fins on the crossover pipe is not practical considering the volume and speed of the compressed air. This team why intercoolers are in most turbocharged engines. The coolers slow the charge air and have massive surface area to cool the intake air. Cooler air is more dense (contains more oxygen) than hot air. There is a very good book by Hugh McInnis on turbocharging. It may be a bit out of date but the theory’s still hold true.
