A2W Intercooler n55

So

I’m trying to find a way to maintain near stock drivebility/throttle/lag/power delivery. I’m thinking with an xdi35 HPFP, 300cel cat, pure stage 2 intercooler on 93 pump I can probably tune it to have something similar to stock power delivery just way more, however the throttle response and lag will be probably 500rpm more. So I’m thinking instead of a going the usually giant intercooler upgrade I change to the a2w intercooler from the s55 to reduce the distance between turbo and throttle.

Question, would this help?

Please none of the ‘not cost effective’ responses, I really don’t care, if I can get my cake and eat it than I’ll pay more if I need to

I've spoken with multiple people with similar setups as yours (better to get 200 cell cat or straight DP). All of them report zero difference with lag. I literally spoke to a member with the huge VRSF race intercooler installed and he told me it was no different than the Active Autowerkes IC he had previously, regarding lag.

He did say that his IAT's were more than CUT IN HALF though, which I find astounding. I bought an ATM intercooler to replace my AA IC, hoping to achieve similar results.

Skip the 300 CEL and get 200 CEL or catless + VRSF Race intercooler and you are set
