You can raise your boost levels by few PSI just by changing the IC and nothing else if it is less restrictive than the factory item.

Can anyone tell me how much it would increase and if the ecu could handle it?

Can anyone tell me how much it would increase and if the ecu could handle it?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>It is hard to use Saleen's car as a example because he is piggybacked.I put a Typhoon front mount intercooler on my T (GT intake, APS exhaust) and it reliably went to 9psi which subsequently threw it into limp home mode. Everytime I went past half throttle it would go into error mode.I know it isn't a relevant example, but it should give you a idea what you are in for.Id say if you put this cooler on your T, boost would increase, hard to say by how much, but it will. And the factory ECU doesn't like seeing anything over 6.5psi.Hope this helps.

The cooler and the new piping looks fantastic! Well done.
