Hi all, I just ordered a CP-E delta core intercooler. I read that when fitting a larger intercooler, there is a drop in pressure. Some reported that it made 20psi before and after upgrading it only made 18psi.
This might sound stupid to some, but does this mean that an aftermarket intercooler will make an Ecoboost with stock tune/no other mods slower? Does fitting a bigger intercooler negatively affect the performance in any way on a stock car? I'm not intending to tune the car or modify it further, the only other mod I have is a catch can. The only reason I got an aftermarket intercooler is because occasionally I track the car (road course) and have been experiencing heat soak on warmer summer days. During daily driving it was never really an issue unless you floor it.
