Is it true though, having a 7" or just an intercooler with 'too large' of a core for this car when not having upgraded turbos, that you will see a pressure drop and feel the turbos kick in a few hundred rpms later? But, those power gains (running a tune of course) and the extensive heat soak resistance is still there. Correct? Should there even be a worry about pressure drops? Thanks for the help

I don't know about the pressure drops and how they will effect your turbo spool. What I do know is I beat on my VRSF 5" pretty hard this week with ambient temps of 115+ and for normal aggressive street driving with the stock turbos the 5" seems to be plenty sufficient. With that said I do kinda wish I would of went with the 7", isn't it funny how that works out.

I got the 5" because I planed on installing it myself so I wanted it to be as easy as possible. Then I ended up having it professionally installed anyway lol.

Edit I am not FBO yet, still waiting to get my DPs installed so only running Cobb Aggressive Stage 1+
