NOT TRUE. He can install the IC and use the Blitz SBC to keep boost @ 10 PSI and be just fine.

On what? The stock ECU?

And BTW, you should try the NE section for recommendations on a local tuner.

it won't matter if you keep ur boost to 10psi or not, with IC you will get more oxgen into your motor. You will be safer to get a m2 ecu or something similar. Injector, fuel pump etc. is not required.

Nope. At 10 PSI max, you'll be fine on the stock ECU *and* you'll be making more power.

i agree with speedking. just make sure that your boost controller and wastgate is working properly and only boost it not creeping or spiking past 10 psi. i would get a PFC before the ARC IC.

Cooler intake charge is denser. The MAP is an absolute pressure sensor, and will pick this up, making the adjustment, just like it does in cold weather. An MAF wouldn't.

But I'm not sure of the ECU reads the intake thermosensor for this purpose, or just relys on the MAP reading.

With only 10psi and the stock ecu, you should still be FINE. The stock ECU runs insanely rich.
