Intercooler would lower boost levels, but increase air density... but at 12 psi, I dont think you would see much drop...

if you do intercool it, you can bump the wastgate more to make up for the loss. the stock turbos can push up to 25 lbs. but thats way to much for a stock engine without headstuds.

some guys have used stock 7.3 or 6.0 intercoolers. they are large and it isnt needed to be that big. some have used stock cummins coolers, another one, bigger than it needs to be.

the last one is 6.0 intercooler. there is a 7.3 intercooler installed in there somehwere. then 2 custom ones.

I had a mechanic tell me the early 94 is an IDI and all mechanical....no computer to program, 6 mos later came the first Power stroke. Is this correct ?
