Thank you!

-Do I really need to worry about the intercooler while on Stage 1 / would it be okay for me to swap it out when I upgrade to Stage 2 next year? or would running Stage 1 with stock intercooler damage the engine?
If you live in a hot climate you'll be struggling to keep IATs in check. The stock intercooler is already taxed at the stock boost level, anything higher (tune raises boost level) and you be pulling a lot of timing and not get the performance thats supposed to be available.
