A stock setup is only limited by the turbo. After about 1bar "14psi" the heat that the turbo generates causes a LOSS in power. A bigger intercooler will not help this. As far as the SMIC itself, there are guys with better turbos running 20-25psi through it with no problem. On a side note, if you drift, retaining your side mount can be a good idea. A SMIC is much less likely to get damaged by rocks and other debris than a FMIC.
