Default healthy intake temperature?

im getting a thermometer setup for my car and going to put it near the throttle body, what is a healthy intake temp? im guessing anywhere near atmosphere temp, but how high of a temp until i should worry?

You will probably see anywhere from 100 to 130f at your boost levels. Of course, it all depends on outside temp, inlet temp, efficiency of the turbo and intercooler. It is literally impossible to see ambient temps at the throttle body under boost with an air-to-air or liquid-to-air intercooler.
