hum, I think the wastegate on 14b is around 7-8 psi, with the intercooler pressure drop you might loose 1psi which kinda falls into your range. (somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

Well, I don't think every IC is going to produce a 1PSI loss, so that is a pure "if-then" situation, I believe.

Didn't catch that I wasn't posting to try and correc you though, I was posting that to make sure 93cxhatch knew that not just any IC would do this for him.
