Your missing the point of effciency. If the PSD cooler is only 60% effcient, you can get away with a smaller IC that is 80% effcient. There's a reason you can buy, even a new, PSD IC for $100, and a Spearco costs $500.
By up-ing the boost to get over the pressure loss of your IC and piping, your prolly generating allmost twice the heat over stock. IF you look at a compressor map of the Banks/Mitsubishi TD06H you'll see it's running pretty close to the edge of it's perameters @ 12 PSI, in a stock setup. It' a well designed turbo, just to small for a big ineffcient IC. It was, after all, designed for a 4 cyl engine, although, I'm not sure if Banks changed the compressor wheel.
