Boost creeps usually isnt create by intercoolers..

But more with the " Vacumm Line, Manifold, Exhaust Sizing, WASTEGATE, and few others "

Usually the wastegate is a MAIN big Issue. Go with Tial.

On the topic:

Intercoolers have nothing to do with boost creep. Boost creep is what happens when your wastegate cannot flow enough, which is often the case with stock internal gates.

With that in mind, I would strongly not advise buying a 5" tall intercooler. You want a good amount of flow area, and the longer the core is the more flow area you need. Those JRC intercoolers are like 5 miles long and 2 inches tall...not so good for flow.

Look into Precision's intercoolers. They use Garrett cores, which in my opinion are the best you can buy these days.

However, if you determine that the JRC intercooler is the best for you, knowing why it's not optimal, then go for it. I'm not going to keep you from buying something.

I know this is an "ineffective" design or whatever before anything happens due to question but who is running high horses with this I.C? Also anyone fitted one to an EF civic before?
cheers
