Intercooler upgrade.
A good bolt on intercooler for the 9 without any modification are the ETS 3.5, not sure if the 4in require any modification, but the only intercooler that i know of that need a little trimming on the front crash beam is the Buschur Racing Evolution FMIC

I was just about to post a post like this, because I am actually upgrading to a 4" ETS front mount intercooler ( installing it tomorrow, hopefully) and i had the exact same question. everyone says its all good and that at most i might lose a pound or 2 of boost. however i am really **** when it comes to my car and don't want to screw anything up on it.
Ive got gsc s1 cams, licp, full 3" exhaust, wal. fuel pump, couple other minor things, a custom tune, and now a 4" fmic. will this be okay to put on or should i really just hold off till i get some more things then have it all installed and tuned?
also i hear a lot about Evoscan, where can i get one and how much do they run? i think this would for sure be a great investment

Thanks bro I will keep that in mind
Do an IC pipe upgrade first and then get the intercooler later on down the road. I don't really see how an intercooler would damage your engine as long as you don't go with an eBay brand. Make sure you get one of the brands that are known for making good parts eg. Buschur, AMS, Nisei, ETC, etc.
