Readings now with the boost lowered to attempt to hook on the street. 12.5 after cooler and 15.5 before. Still looks like double the advertised drop of this 1000 horse intercooler.Higher boost numbers will have to wait for a track day because I sold the tires that allowed higher boost street pulls. It is improved and the throttle is responding quicker , but it is not the 1-2 psi drop i was hoping for.

Some of the psi drop is going to be from the cooling of the air.

Never thought of that! It feels better.Throttle response is definently better.

Surely it is time for turbo and fuel system upgrades now.
