You see, the WI will be much more effective if it starts when the intercooler is overwhelmed.
It becomes counter-productive when it's activated during the intercooler's sweet spot

You've got the std Z20LET intercooler, right?
I can hold 15 psi at 3/4 throttle upto about 4.5k rpm, about 11 psi at WOT and over boost of 19 psi between 2.5k and 3.5k rpm

I could trigger one jet at 10 psi and the other at 13psi, but for this experiment i will trigger at 13 psi.

I have an larger after market IC, been thinkin about swapping it for the stock one, less pressure loss - better for top end breathing, if WI is keeping the temps down.
