Default Which intercooler

Im not too sure which turbo i have as im a total beginner.. i have been told of the lad i bought it off its a "stage 3 cossie turbo" and it feels like it has alot of lag already (wont boost till about 3.5k) and im wondering which intercooler would be best... ive allways wanted a front mount but i dont want a shit load of lag?

My car made boost at 3k with a standard intercooler and when i fitted my airtec one it hit boost at exactly the same revs so i would recommed it mate. You'll need a GRS if your going for BIG power though

If i keep my cab turbo and stick a airtec front mount on it (got a double pace at the mo) as long as my metering unit is running fine and i can fuel it, what sort of boost can i run with it? What do people see on mfi? Its a standard turbo but i got a stage 3 head with piper t2 cam if that helps.

What sort of power with above setup with standard turbo and megasquirt or some kind of efi?

The prob im having is im running about 15psi at the mo with the above setup (pace) and the car doesnt seem to keep the power down as it is so how do you guys keep the power down when upping the bhp?
