If and when I do upgrade, I would obvously have the cash to afford a better IC. I'm just trying to get the full of my Big16G and get it tuned real good. For 200$ and a small turbo, I think it should be fine. I'll keep these points made in mind for my future upgrade though. Thanks for all the input guys.

Why not just save the extra cash and do the job once and be all set when you are ready to go big?

I agree, however, I think this is the mentality too many BANME!s take which then leads them to giving up on their project. I think you really need to know what you are doing, both the mechanics and physics (well as much as possible anyways) in order to turn a DSM into a true monster. Also, will a $150-200 intercooler really degrade that much over a couple years? He could probably still sell it for a hundred or so. I just see too many people buying GT35R's for their then stock cars...

But ya, DSMLink is definitely the way to go...even on a 16g!
