2 – The new IC does not remove as much heat. Higher temps mean higher boost presure but lower air density but this would usually have a negative effect on HP/TQ and increase the likelihood of combustion problems.
3 – The old IC just simply had a pinhole leak in it.

Of course, it could be any combination of the above assuming that the boost was measured in the same location for both new and old IC.

Sorry I forgot about this thread LOL. I will take pictures of the intercoolers as they're completely different.
