Default STS turbo To intercool or not to intercool, that is the question

Hey guys looking for people that have intercooled there STS rear mount turbos. Was there a significant gain in power when it was added? and was it worth the time and money to get one or was it not what you where expecting? Just looking for some advice....trying to squeeze some more power out.
