Default Power gain from rs500 intercooler?

Hey all, i will be fitting an RS500 intercooler to my stage 1 saff very soon, i was just wondering, if any, what kind of power gains they give, anything noticable, or is it just peace of mind/abillity to run more boost they offer?

you wont notice much mate; if its stage 1 and you plan on staying at stage 1 stay with a 4x4 intercooler and that will do nicely, no need for a rs500 cooler on a stage 1 unless you live in the desert

stage 3 then you might need one

As said, a friend was running a Stage 3 on his 4x4 Saff & noticed a difference fitting a 500 cooler over the standard one. Get yourself an ACT gauge & you can see how hot its getting. Mike R sells them, easy to fit as well.
