The intercooler will drop pressure a bit, so you may have to run slightly higher boost to compensate. In return, you should notice about 15 - 20 rwhp gain ... depending on the thickness of the fmic, for about 15 seconds continuously on-throttle (quite a long time on-throttle, actually) until the metal in the fmic is fully heat-soaked.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
