[QUOTE="SteveWK, post: 16417811, member: 139323"] I will most likely upgrade the intercooler brick when I have it apart and do the mods to the intake to increase the surface area of the intercooler both in width and by removing the area that shrouds flow in the back. I can do this myself with a Dremel 4000, flexible tip, and some aluminum carbide tools. I'll get someone else to weld the aluminum plate in the back for the bypass circuit. I might port match the lower to the heads and do some very minor cleanup there. I'll have to look at when I get it apart. My end goal is to accelerate at WOT from roughly 40 to 130+ without my IAT2 exceeding 20 degrees over ambient. I know the big restriction is flow rate and flow rate is being limited by the diameter of the hoses and back pressure, but I may be ok for this brief WOT. If this fails I will need to do more analysis. Adding a second stock pump on the exit (hot side) of the intercooler is a possibility for more flow through the intercooler. More research is needed.
