I'd just like to clarify that yes, I know, the intercooler is a very important part in the grand scheme of making power in a turbocharged car. The reason I said what I said, is because in the original post the author seemed confused about the actual purpose and operation of the APC system. They had posted "This after market APC boost control allows the turbo 1/4 into redline until the intercooler is hot enough, then scrams it back to normal boost." They said this as if the intercooler had some sort of sensor that was directly wired to the APC and that was all the APC worked off of.
This thread stemmed from someone thinking about a red box or other sort of tweaked APC, and now we're talking about alcohol, methanol, and even nitrous. All this for someone looking for maybe as little as 10 extra HP and who is concerned about the "collector's value" of their car??? I'm not sure if John read the original post... but that's my clarification on the whole intercooler thing anyway.
