you got 15 whp from sealing the outer edges of the intercooler alone??
are those numbers based on doing several runs?

please give details.  did you do the frankenliner mod?

that is a big power increase.  my car already has the RS2 EM and 3 bar
transducer (MTM stage II+).  so let's see, i need RS2 turbo, MAF,
injectors, and chip.  wonder how much that'd cost...

does high altitude have any effect on the size of the gains you'd see?
