I have a 1jzgte in my MA70 supra. I currently have twin dumps, 3 inch exhaust with a high flow Cat. Turbo's are steel wheels. Front mount cooler is factory item. It hits 11psi boost. Iwant to get around 14 - 15 psi boost, how much will it creep up by installing a. aftermarket intercooler? Or should i install an Elec boost controller? I want to do both but not at same time. Which do you guys recommend to do 1st.

First.. get an FCD (fuel cut defender) i'm going off the assumption that ure running the same ecu that the soarer does.. in any case make sure you have no boost limiting devices active. yes get an electronic boost controller. that's a major mod that will let you spool your turbos up. but at the same time.. if your running more than stock boost. 12psi. then you will have to cool the intake a little more efficiently. otherwise you'll be risking detonation.....

pretty much what mathew said, but yes it would be much safer to go the intercooler first. and you might get aroun .5 to 1psi extra from the frontmount depending on which one you get.
