Ya, you need an intercooler with stage ones towing 10k. They won't do you any good without one. Like Nate said, you won't be able to use the power, your egt's will go way over 1200.

I disagree to some extent. I pull 10k now with my 2's just fine, obviously keeping an eye on gauges. The difference being that where I'm at in Ohio is really flat. I'm limited by turbo as well. I'll run out of boost (don't want to push it to hard over 30psi) before I hit 1200*. Now on an incline it's a different story. Man I need a turbo! Lol

Todd when I had those injectors and IC with BTS tow tune I had a hard time getting over 1200*. But I'm in Louisiana and its flat here.

It doesn't really matter what tune I'm in. Boost skyrockets so fast it's ridiculous. With bad uppies as well, which aren't helping my EGT's. I definitely need my intercooler installed, I just know that whatever I do at this stage, I'll be limited by air.

Ya, I pull some big hills here in Washington. I can get to 1200 pretty fast and I have more pedal. I think i'll hold off on the stage ones.
