Your signature says you have a single turbo. If that's true, you have a much bigger ECU issue than the intercooler.

That car still has the stock twins, on a fresh reman. I think you should be fine as long as you keep the boost at stock levels. Only difference the motor will see is cooler air.. and it should already be tuned for cool air anyways. Just make sure you keep the stock cat, and make sure your boost doesn't creep past 10psi.

Yep, I agree with trainwreck. It will all be ok with a stock ECU as long as you run 10 psi and stay away from a full exhaust. 11psi max. If it goes past that, install a boost controller.

Hey Randy, boost line? Like vac hose? I might have some nylon laying around.. but would have to find.. And well I'm not going to be around till this coming tuesday..

If not, just use some silicone tubing from auto parts store.

Also, the colder air intake temps front the front mount will cause the turbo to spool harder.. so make sure it doesn't go over 10psi.. you might have to adjust the boost pill to the waste gate (enlarge it).. or just take it out and run a boost controller.
