Default DSM intercooler slowing me down?

My turbo gets full spool at 4,500 and holds 3-4 psi. before it would spool up at 3,500 and hold at 5 psi.

Is there anyway to fix my spool up time? I want it back at 3500.

it sounds like you have a leak somewhere...possibly in your IC lines or *maybe* in the IC...but i think a hose or clamp thats loose would be a better place to start looking...
