Basically, there are only 3 things a person would need to worry about then...
1. The core is too small or piping restrictive (as in the stock)
2. The core and/or piping is too big (whereas you wont be able to build enough flow so actually hurt performance...
3. The intercooler piping and/or core is leaking somewhere. (obvious)
Other than that because this is a common intercooler, I should be okay. I am still not clear on why my max boost is registering as 7 PSI at the intake manifold (where the boost controller is reading), but I am fairly certain that is just the 3 psi drop I get when running with this new intercooler. Once I up the boost so that the upgraded intercooler is actually necessary, then the pressures should equal out better. (guessing)
