What's happening at the moment is it feels fast for the first couple of pulls, but because it's just creating heat, the intercooler is getting heat soaked, once that happens you're losing power. A front mount wont help much either, it wont cool down fast enough to keep the temps down.
By keeping the boost at a sensible amount AND using a front mount, you'll make the best of both and keep the temps much more consistent.
Disagree, my td04 runs at around 30psi and my inlet temps stay at around 10degrees :/
Doesnt even own a 306.
