I live in Ellington Ct. Is there any repair shops near me? Installed front mount intercooler to My 2003 Gt with Vortech V1 supercharger. Lost 1lb of boost. SCT tuner set up for lose of boost. Still getting a bucking when I am just cruising around. All pipes are tight. I had 380 HP now I have 351 HP. Is intercooler worth it?????? I bought smaller pully and will have more boost but I do not want to install intill bucking goes away. The car ran perfect without intercooler. Runs like **** now. Vortech said there should not be any bucking with FMIC. So what the Bleep is wrong with this car. That is why I need a good place to bring it. I JUST WANT TO DRIVE IT!!!!

you may drop power b/c of the IC being restrictive. the bucking is another problem all together.

what BOV or BPV are you running. with the IC you need at least a mini race BPV to vent the air so it does not backwash the MAF.

also where is your MAF located? in the fender or is it a blow thru?

we need way more info then you posted
