I also called Vortech and the core on the aftercooler is the same with all Vortech kits. They say you may loose a pound or two with it unless you get their Mondo cooler which will not fit in our cars. So I am not too concerned with the aftercooler.

Talked to a SC Tuner and they mentioned cfm flow limits on the aftercooler should only affect top end rpm boost and it should be at a minimum.

When would you see 1200cfm at 10psi? 20psi?
The T-Trim would definitely improve low and mid range boost in any case.

You are saying that the only need for the T-Trim is to increase midrange power? Like the F1-SC blower is to the ATI crew?

To those who are running the t-trim what did it cost what changes did you make to get it installed I am asking this b/c I can't get over 5# boost b/c of slipping the belt above 4500rpms. Btw I am running the small pulley trying to get more boost.

Since you already have the kit all you would need would be the brackets and the head unit. Since I got mine all at once and never had a kit to begin with it was a little more for me.

Vince- All I know is I get 5psi almost instantly and it goes up REAL fast from there to 13or 14psi. From what I hear that does not happen with a G trim. (since I never had a G trim)
