Intercooler questions

I was wondering how much boost a starion intercooler can effectively cool? I heard that the stock rx-7 can only effectively cool 5-6 psi. Is this correct?

The stock IC is usefull at more than stock boost. (I think people tend to say about 10psi..)

www.autospeed.com.au (or something like that) did a test of stock ICs and the FC ICs came out quiet favorably in terms of flow and cooling capacity. The location is probably the biggest issue, although IMO most people tend to exagerate how bad the stock position is.
