no, the 600hp intercooler will just make boost decrease slightly do to pressure drop with larger core

but definatly you will have a cooler IAT due to it

Don't buy the Genuine Saab (Crazy Steve) IC. I just sent mine back. It doesn't fit unless you grind on the crash bar, which I wasn't going to do. The stock unit is $412. Dejon and Synapse make fine intercoolers, apparently; they are similarly priced

Crap, I forgot about that bumper-trimming crap. There's no way I'm doing that. The Dejon is a direct bolt-on. I guess I'll go that way.

Trimming it won't mess up the performance, though.

No. You might notice a drop in your boost readings, but power should be the same and more sustainable.

Crazy steve's SUCKS do not buy that do a search for Crazy Steve here and you will see why . A lot of us with after market charge pipes and even factory ones do not fit , You will end up farther behind in the end plus the core is just way to huge for the stock Turbo , take our word the people who got it to fits seem to be the people with Dejon charge pipes for some odd reason ...
