Front mount on ST205 difference? Options

[jbod]

I am shortly about to do a front mount intercooler on my st205.

What I want to know is, has anyone dont this first hand, on a standard 205, and gained a noticeable difference?
Most people that i know that have done this have gone forged and a big ol turbo at the same time making their input in valuable

Please, dont tell me about my friends done it and he says its great or whatever. I want to truly gauge did it make a difference

My issue with the water to air is on the track the water to air gets hot (intake temp in high 50s) and you feel a loss in power.

If theres no real gain felt I will bore my ct20 out to take a 52mm compressor and give it some chilli sauce - and in the process have to retune the ecu. making the front mount worth while

The way i see it is toyota spent thousands of dollars into the 3stge designing it the way they did they made tmic water to air for a reason. if a front mount intcooler was better they would of made it that way from factory . i would say leave it as it is less problems in the future really if you dont wanna have problem with it !
