Lol when there is a presure mesured in the intercooler (any think over 100kpa) that is regarded as positive presure 100kpa is the MOST an engine can be drawing in with out the help of forsed induction! any think over this the engine is not sucking the air in at all but its being forced in hence the rise in inlet presure
