Anyone install an after market Intercooler (FMIC) and experience any loss of boost? Compared to stock intercooler.

Thanks Mike, I don't have a boost leak. I am wandering if going to an aftermarket intercooler - Will I lose a little boost? Compared to a stock intercooler because of size....
Any draw backs?

No, you will not lose any boost pressure because of a different volume in a larger intercooler. Conversely, you will not gain any boost pressure using a smaller intercooler.
