The computer is easy to work with. We have some ideas for another run at a better flowing CAI. I have ordered spares. We use a manual boost control and get to 160 FWHP or more with we think with a couple of pounds of boost.
The intercooler performed well. Shop temp ranged from 89 to 96. Temps measured at the air intake to intercooler to plenum were within 8 degrees. At the end of the day we learned at least 2,967 ways not to make more power on a Sonic. ;-)

Have you thought of working an intercooler mist similar to the Subaru WRX? I'm not sure where the intercooler is on the Sonic. My Cruze is right at the lower grill opening. Don't know if mist would work for it. Is the ECM the same for the Cruze? Would like to know what you found about being "friendly".
And this is on topic. They're "Z's",
