GT28/K16 turbos.. time to upgrade the intercoolers?

I am piecing together a sweet lil setup.. so far I have the following in the works or ordered:

GT28/K16 turbos
Maxspeed headers and exhaust
Maxspeed DV's
5 bar FPR
Flash (probably ImagineAuto's 640 kit tune as they use the same turbos)
intake (debating Vivid v. EVO)

So, with this setup should I now be considering upgrading the intercoolers? Will I realize a substantial gain?

Hey Colby,

I will be in IN customer tuning in the next month and a half or so. Let me know if you would like this set up custom tuned.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony-
Halloween isn't for quite a while......

COLBY- I hope you have already called him.....the guy said basically he'd come to you and DYNO TUNE your car.

I am a very happy Proto customer but gotta tell you, it doesn't get much better than what you were just offered!

I sent him an email just now! I agree, a pre-fabbed map usually gets you pretty close, but nothing beats a dyno tune! Count me in!!
