I plan on it myself - the airbox temp can limit your power by the automatic
waste gate control. I am hoping that is why I can only get about 25 inches at
17,500 in the warm weather. I used to do better in the cold winter weather. I
would like to know for sure if that is what is happening. The is where the
intercooler would allow more power at altitude.
