Yep. It really doesn't matter what size Intercooler your running if the Ambiant Temperature conditions are not at the optimum.

Just trying to make a point you have flawed logic. The turbo will heat up the air a % over the inlet temp so doesn't matter (well it does somewhat) if its 100 or 0 out the turbo will heat it and the ic will drop around the same amount. As for stock TBI I deff dont think a ic should be the first upgrade, everything has to flow good one things wont do much. But I think its only logical that people that would care about the efficenfy of the stock IC already have most of the upgrade your posted (and I agree should do most of thoes before doing the IC). It does matter what size your ic is. unless your in like northern canada and its always cold then no real need, but even then colder air will be more dense.

Hell yea, your car will perform like a champ. 90 degrees..... Not so much. So.Should we spend a lot of money on a larger than Stock Intercooler when we live in Arizona during the summer???? I wouldn't. And let's face it.....The Aftermarket Intercooler does not really produce a more significant volume of air flow compared to the Stock unit to justify the added cost for a TBI set up. Want to increase output on your TBI set up???? MAF-Translator, Larger Fuel Injectors, Adjustable BCRRFPR,Aftermarket Fuel Pump,OVC and Intercooler hardpipes,A/F Wideband and Upgraded electronics (Coil,Spark Plug Wires and ECU).

So because its warm out you dont want to bother with a larger IC???? Interesting..... Maybe just go without a IC if its over 100 out!! then dont have to worry about spool or flow restriction

I actually have a aftermarket surge ported cover. This is a mock up picture. The starquest actuator does not have enouth travel to open the gate fully either.

Very nice Like the idea, the stock WG doesnt have alot of movement and is pretty easy pull on so either using a new wg, or adding sprigns and allowing the full movment of the wg is great idea. altho external would be even better!

Ahh good point. but im sure the 2.5psi at the tb must mean its too small. I cant remember when we tested my conquest if it was with the stock IC or with my big one. But it does help explain my great results at lower boost then most, since i have a larger IC then most. Curious now for what the pressure drop on a non IC car is from turbo to OVCP. The efficany of the turbo is based on the difference from the inlet to the outlet. Not the pressure at the intake.

years back we measured the Tainer's car in order to show 15 lbs at the intake we had to run 19.5 lbs out of the turbo , at the time I belief they were running a T3T4 turbo

I think that was with the 60trim t3/t4 if i remember right, not really that great of a setup at the time.
Makes me think maybe the 12a is very poor match for inter-cooler, being it can only do a rather low amount of boost efficiently..... since at the same boost the turbo is doing less work. Just and idea.
