You're in Canada, so your ambient are probably not as high as some other regions, but it's not really a good intercooler. It's temps go up more than 15 degrees in one gear, which means repeated pulls or multi-gear pulls are likely not happening, especially if you're running a Stage 2 tune (I have personal experience in this)

I would have recommended the BMS or better yet the VRSF Competition for Stage 1/2 applications, while keeping costs low. Either way, it's already done and I hope it works out for you.
