For a daily driver that doesn't see towing and EGT's are not even close to being at a dangerous level, do you guys think it would be worth the time and effort to intercool only 5psi cuz that is what i run?
anybody installed a cooler either 7.3 factory cooler or 6.0l cooler in a 2wd truck, that front sway bar is gonna make it challenging.
i wouldn't do it.
i think you should resolve the issue and get boost up to 8-10 psi at least first.fix whatever boost leak or issue going on there with the turbo first.
once your getting your 9-10 psi under load,then no.i still wouldn't add an intercooler if your not working the truck.
unless you then want to add a larger than stock ip or something just for fun,so you can burn more fuel,but if you do that,then imho you should first get away from the big 3 turbo kits and swap it out for something larger.the oem ip maxed out is just right for a big 3 turbo kit and correctly fitted fmic.
don't add such a large intercooler for a turbo kit making just 5 psi.you'll kill whatever performance you have now,and end up with a real laggy dog.
