Which, of course, is an excellent case for a blow through with an 
intercooler. Cool the air FIRST, and THEN vaporize the fuel!  <G>

    Quite true.  This cooling from the evaporation of fuel depends, of 
course, on the A/F ratio.  For a 12 to 1 ratio (rich for high load) it's 
around 50 
deg. F cooling of the air/fuel stream.

You forgot to take into account the cooling effect from the vaporizing fuel.

------------------------------------
Was the 180 degree temp F of C?  Was it temperature rise (natural with 
compression) or the actual discharge temp?
There is a chart in  Hugh MacInnes "Turbochargers" book that plots compressor 
discharge temperature VS pressure ratio for compressor efficiencies from 56% 
to 80% when starting with 90 degree F air.
I'd say 17 psi boost is a pressure ratio of  2.15.  With a very efficient 
well matched  80% efficient compressor it shows almost 260 F, which is a 170 
F 
temperature increase from 90 F.
