ok to Run Stg3 on Stock IC's for the Winter?
Pretty much locked in for Stg3- + Fuel Pump, CC PP Exhaust Manifolds, and a few other things like T-Belt,Snub mount and other minor maintenance stuff that needs to be done but im thinking about adding Fueling or IC's along with everything
Figure IC's would be the smarter thing to do considering the install would be much easier/cheaper while the cars apart but having Stg3 power untill then makes me think more about adding fueling
Anything i should consider if running Stg3 on Stock IC's? Obviously IAT's would be much better with Rs4 IC's and i figure Stock IC's maybe more likely to fail...
Would purchase both but im also replacing all my H&R Ultras so.. $$ =(
Guess my real question is can i run typical Stg3 boost while running stock IC's?
FWIW I have pretty much everything else needed for a HB STG 3 Giac-x/xr,MBC,TCD,Piggies,Ceramic Clutch,Rs4 Motor Mounts and etc..

I'm going to be going sans ICs, too. They don't seem too bad to install
at a later time. Plus, all those costs at once is deflating. I will be jealous of the exhaust manis.
Will you be removing healthy K03s?

youre fine, especially in the winter...
just dont run more than 18psi IMO, just to play it safe. if you dont do the intercooler install now, its really not a big deal to do it later.
