Dyno test would be pretty much just bragging rights anyway. lol That and an idea who I can F**k with on the road with being embarrassed.

Hey guys I was just looking at the Group Buy on the Evolve Inter cooler. What kind of gains could I expect to get? And where would I see them High end/ low end / across the bored? They don't say much about the gains you would see on the sight.

The gains....depends on the climate you live.

So living in the north east it’s probably not that big of a deal? the hottest it gets here is 90-95f. Average would be 80-85f and that only lasts a few months.

Sounds like my money would be better spent on something else. Maybe ignition coils?

Well it all helps, A FMIC is a good upgrade, but it depends on what you are looking for. Some will tell you that when driving in warm weather they dont notice it, and during the winter, well the cooler air works torwards your advantage.....
Not sure about the coils.....but they do help.

Hot air is the nemesis of a turbo engine. Warmer climates are the best for intercooler upgrades. Without looking into it, I'd guess a good intercooler would give around 15hp. Personally, I'd go for the intercooler before the coil packs.
