it may just lag a little bit more, you will only have to pressurize the whole ic now and i'm assuming its bigger than the one you have.

I just put mine on and I'm topping out at 5PSI.

I was at 6.5 with a Side Mount.

with my starion intercooler i was hitting 10 lbs on an rhb5 in all 5 gears. with the new JRC 6 inch i can barely hit 5 in first second and third. fourth and fifth i get lucky if it reaches 7 psi. function > fasion so don't go for the big bling intercooler unless you have a turbo sized enough to push the right amount of boost through it. it was a big mistake on my part.

if you notice a pound or two of pressure drop, just turn it back up
