Re: Intercooler question
well the depth of my new intercooler is a bit deeper than my old one, probably about 1/2inch.
thanks guys for your thoughts! I'll definitely ask him.

Re: Intercooler question
I highly doubt it.
Unless the new cooler drastically lowers Intake Air Temps, which under extreme conditions may make your motor run lean

Re: Intercooler question
If you were maxing your current FMIC out, chances are yes. You can't exactly tune for a cooler IAT at full boost if your setup never experienced it.
You can also run at different turbo shaft speeds due to a lower (or higher) pressure drop. That will affect the turbo efficiency, as well as the turbine flow. No Honda ems has a compensation table for changes in exhaust backpressure...
