Gained about 10-15 hp between 5300-7000 rpms and i can definitely feel a difference after 5krpms, but i'm surprised the peak numbers didn't go up that much
Also it spools about 400rpms faster to peak tq
could the ets HFC really be holding me back that much or is the cobb cat back just very restrictive for aftermarket catbacks and that is keeping my peak numbers down?

So i added the ets 3.5 and cobb catback and got a retune and gained only 6 HP and lost 3 tq for 320/320.

The stock intercooler isn't all that bad on the stock turbo. Neither is the stock intake (with the help of an aftermarket filter). Once you free up the exhaust, the stock turbo doesn't really flow enough to warrant upgrades in those areas. Will they help? Sure. But not in the bang for your buck department.
Don't get too caught up in the #'s. You can take your car back tomorrow with no changes, and it will make + or - 5 hp difference. It could be up one day and down the next day. No big deal. It just tells you ABOUT where you are.

That tells you your biggest restriction right now is the high flow cat. You probably would have gained more by going with a test pipe instead of the intercooler.
