Default intercooler change

Hello guys

Have just swappd my 2wd cosworth intercooler for a forge front mount joby and evan thoe boost is the same it feels like its being strangled of power, all i can think is that my boost pipe setup is now shorter so less lag so maybe more fuel in there or something?

Has any one else had same thing ive upd my boost 1-2 psi still doesnt pull as much what could it be??? my acts are the same i would swap back but the intercooler was borrowd so i have to stick with this kit ive bought and both intercooler have same capacity too;-(
