I have noticed after a hard full-throttle pull, it wont pull as hard anymore (heat soak?). I live in Miami where it is regularly in the 85-95 degrees and humid. I've been googling and someone said its cheaper and a better first-step to upgrade the "heat exchanger", not the entire intercooler. That threw me off, I thought the intercooler was a heat exchanger.
Anyhow, would love all your thoughts so I can learn more!

heat exchangers are for air to water systems. the n55 is air to air so you would need to upgrade your intercooler.
your correct its probably heat soak given the ambient temps. the stock intercooler sux, its the same one as the 4 cylinder cars. i say just get a intercooler and go with the stage 2 tune and go stage 2+ once you get your catted dp
