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.

The fact that you are a mile high has something to do with the reason you didn't see much. The thinner air isn't going to cool as well and the change in trapped mass per cylinder won't be as great per the same temp change as it would at a lower altitude.
