Wow 20 psi? you meaning spiking or holding..thats alot of boost lol. I mean I know in perfect world a larger intercooler would be better..but as long as my car runs safe then im good. I dont think I should be worried about blowing anything at 18 psi.. in know alot of people are running that boost and alittle more and doing fine..But I just wanna make sure Ill be good to go with my current mods.
cool cool 
yeah my plan is to take the car to surgeline tuning real soon and have Tim Baily tune it. Im thinking a nice conservative 18 psi tune with my current mods should be nice power and drivabilty...regardless long as I know ill be fine with the stock tmic before custom tune..then im happy,just dont wanna blow the engine cause of too much hot air going into the engine cause the tmic is not up to par.

Alot of people dyno the ms3 like most cars-hood open...but its been proven that the ms3 actrully does better with the hood closed..thats a whole other subject though. dammit...making me feel guilty to spend more money on intercooler (enguard)

WOW glad i got the upgarded TMIC
HMMMMMMMMMM...well I guess its money issue with me...Surgeline said they can still make my car pull very hard and safe with say a 15 psi map example with the stock tmic..you might say when s*** our cars stock run 15 psi..but boost isnt the full answer for power..good tuning along with good mods with the same boost can make decent mount of power... I know Lincoin's ms3 had cai,cobb dp,turbo inlet,with stock tmic and ran 281 whp and 295 tq.....so im hoping I can run in the 270-280 hp whp range...Also washington doesnt get as hot as places like arizona..85 is nice hot sunny day here..typical weather is upper 70's...BUT...ofcourse a after market intercooler would suit me better!..its just do i need to spend the 600+ dollars..not for the power..honestly 278-280 at the wheels on this fwd car is freakin plenty..but my intake temps go down..cooler air is alwas nicer for the engine..and I can tune for a lower psi to get the same power..meaning with my stock tmic..ill need 18 psi to say get 300 whp as a example..but with fmic ican take it down to 16 psi and get the same results while providing more protection for my engine......guess I have some decisions to make...man I hate the mod bug sometimes(smash)
