you usually lose 2-3psi through an intercooler like you said.
If the pressure loss is that great, that core/end tank design is a giant

if you run an intercooler, you goota run your boost reference for your wastegate from your throttle body, that way you dont have the pressure drop from the intercooler, i have a normal sized intercooler, 24 x 12 x 3 i think and i have a 7 pound spring, and i see 7 pounds on the boost gauge
