Installing Intercooler Causes Lost Boost?

[2gForMe]

Stock turbo, stock controller. Only mods are intake BOV exhaust and lower intercooler piping and front mount intercooler. I know front mount is overkill for a almost stock car but i got a killer deal and would do it eventually anyways. Would it cause me to love 4-5 psi at some times?

Yea with the T25 it causes pressure drop because the T25 doesnt push out enough air to "fill the pipes". If you bought a 14B (cheap mod) you would be back in action. The T25 and a decently-sized front mount IC just dont work well together. But double-check for boost leaks.

Mine was free. Look around, Junkyard, anything. you're gonna need a 2G install kit, or fabricate one of your own. you'll also hold boost until redline with the 14B! good luck, happy boosting!
