Default intercooler question

i just put in my front mount intercooler in my 2gnt and i drive it but it seems to be reading lower boost and the boost gauge.............im almost positive that there is no boost leak anywhere.............you guys have any ideas of what it might be?

I'm almost postive it's from the pressure dropping. What size intercooler?

If it's a stock turbo that's the "problem". Just up the boost.

Huge intercooler on a small turbo == big pressure drop
