As for an intercooler. There was no percievable increase in power but I was able to stay in the throttle longer and harder before having to back out due to EGT's. its a supporting mod. Some have claimed 25-30hp on the dyno but I couldn't feel it. Maybe If i went back to stock y-pipe I could but I am not going to.

PS- peak boost before IC was 33. after its still 33psi but it shoots to 28 then climbs slowly to 33 now. Its saving my turbo from another fast death!
TJ I dont think we really care if we make the boost sitting in the driveway, but it is interesting to see the different numbers people come up with, and I think we just want to make sure we are getting the most boost possible. I wonder if those getting boost out of gear get any amount more in gear then those of that dont any out of gear. Kinda like your base is already higher then ours and so all your boost numbers are a little higher. Maybe. That is my biggiest question.
