Key word. I had zero power and economy difference with and without my intercooler. If it actually made a difference I wouldn't have gotten rid of it.

FUEL is what controls power. Intercoolers only make a difference at WOT where temperatures are high and the A/F ratio is close to rich. Daily drivers and highway cruisers won't see a bit of difference by adding an intercooler except an increase in turbo lag.
