stock intercooler limits
Sport Compact Car in their series said the stock intercooler was barely sufficient at stock boost levels. Yet M2's old stage 2 chip was for intake, DP, and catback at 12 pnds. of boost. What's the real deal?

M2 claims that the car can boost to 12 without a problem with the stock intercooler. I'm not sure what "bad" thing happens if you go higher. I did some mods to my car and then put in a boost gauge a couple of weeks later. I found that I was boosting to 15 1/2 psi on the stock intercooler. I got a boost controller right away, and got it back down to 12. I'm getting a blitz SMIC soon. It's supposed to fit without changing the stock air box or battery.
