Should I install my intercooler?

Hey guys,

I bought a zzp intercooler a while back. I had plans to install it when I get the efr turbo and since that isn't going to happen for a while I have a dilemma. I currently have a zzp hot side cp, a hahn high flow catted downpipe, trifecta 23 psi selectatune, k&n sri, and gms1 sensors. Is installing this intercooler on my current setup going to cause some lag and loss of hp because of the larger volume? Or should I just put up or shut up?

Thanks,
Craig

Install it when you have time.

It'll help a little better with the IAT2's and I noticed no difference in power or lag due to it's size. If anything, it's very minimal and not noticeable to the butt dyno in the slightest.

Do not install it. Box it up and send it to me.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it also require a re-tune?
