The size of intercooler shouldnt affect when boost hits. Or it does miniscule amounts, it would be down to turbo size

Stock s4 turbo. The cooler is huge i mean huge. way to big. There is also a lot of piping in between. I believe it does have something to do with how big it is takes alot of pressure to fill that bitch up. maybe i am wrong guess all it would take was to hook right into turbo. But i am not gonna do that lol.

Dunno how i am gonna get in car vids unless i buy a nicer digi-cam. I might take it to the dyno though if i can find one cheap enough., very curious to see the kinda power putting down. It feels like a kick in the head when boost hits lol. Best way i can describe it is it comes on so hard and so suddenly its like i just hit the N20 button.

Lord knows its scary to drive not like scary fast but like am i gonna break something scary. It's also nice being able to drive it around like normal until i crack the secondaries. Regardless it sucks gas a like a PIG!!! estimated mpg on the boost is probably 4-8mpg. Off boost probably 10-15 in town 20 on highway.

intercooler

What size is the cooler and the pipes?
Do you have a link to an ebay seller?
what did the cooler cost?
Your setup looks good.
Two things come to mind as possible enhancements.
1 mount the cone air filter in front of the radiator for cool air.
2 buy or build a more airflow friendly carb hat.
