Message I have seen this debated here and there on the forum. There is little doubt that this will increase the power to the wheels, but the real question would be by how much?

Personally, I have always been a bit leary of horsepower numbers when you ice the intercooler. Here is why: In 1994 I watched a Twin Turbo Supra on a dynojet put down 312 rwhp with intake and exhaust. The owner then iced down his stock intercooler to see what the difference would be. After the icing, the car laid down 405 rwhp; an amazing 93 rwhp gain. I have often wondered what that number would have looked like had the car had a FMIC and a boost controller.

At any rate, just sharing a thought.

Bryan
