If I want 25psi and only have to command 25.5psi from the turbo rather than 28psi I'm creating less heat from the get go and getting to peak boost faster.
Excited to see how this turns out. I haven't seen any comparisons of pressure drop across air-to-water and air-to-air intercoolers, are the air-to-waters that much less restrictive? Or is it more the shorter plumbing required? Obviously there's less volume to pressurize, but that's extra nice if pressure drop is significantly less between the turbo outlet and throttlebody. The guy in that other post said it seemed more responsive, so that's promising.

Also, what turbo are you running?
