In discussing this with a mate who has GZE, he reckons that the boost into the throttle body and manifold is alot less, once the air has gone through the intercooler? He thinks a stock intercooler robs you of a few psi. I'm not too sure about this, but that his theory. I can't see how boost could be lost provided that everything in the system is air tight? I aint too sure.

If it wasn't air-tight you would be able to hear it bloody well and you would be losing lots of boost for sure.
A stock intercooler may add lag to the boost, but the air isn't going to go anywhere and you certainly shouldn't lose 30% of your boost because of it.

Putting a boost guage on a vacuum pipe is some kind of oxy-moron isn't it?
