pressure drop from adding intercooler..
i haven't been using my brain lately, ive searched but couldn't find the answer i was looking for.. anyhow.. as you can see i am a turbo no0b..

Re: pressure drop from adding intercooler.. (G_Force_Si)
I moved my wastegate line from the turbo outlet, to right before the TB and it made NO difference in how much I boosted (which it should, if the intercooler was significantly restrictive) maybe 0.5psi...I'm using a little DSM SMIC, though...

Re: pressure drop from adding intercooler.. (G_Force_Si)
just run the wastegate vacuum line to some vacuum line off the intake manifold.
the wastegate will adjust to the amount of boost actually going in the engine and you won't "see" any pressure drop like you would with the wastegate reading off the turbo before the ic
