looks like your ready for stage 2 .You could get a turborev smic for £100 new off ebay. There about double the thickness.  :wink:

I had a custom map with the standard side mount intercooler and the result was 233bhp & 240 ft/lb, have since fitted a forge FMIC - peak torque was up to 260 but it is needing a remap tweek and there is a noticeable amount of lag - after that slight lag it goes alreet :)

If going for an FMIC get it on and then have the car mapped.

I have 256lb/ft on K03s. The torque is only a peak figure at full boost so more peak boost will theoretically give you more torque but it will stress the engine/gearbox more...
