Contact Billy at TRTPerfomance/TRTTurbo. He can fix you up with an intercooler for a very reasonable price. Don't risk damaging the engine. Cool air makes more pressure and power due to it's density.

That is a bunch of fluctuation 5-14lbs? I would be checking the gauge out...also check any lines that may be getting hot during the day thus distorting....I've seen wastegates and vacuum lines fluctuate their opening quite a bit due to heat. If you are running 14lbs that may be on the edge of pump gas even with a good tune. If you stay under 8-10lbs no problem 14+lbs...I'd have an intercooler on it.

just my $.02
