ARM Intercooler - Concerns regarding Pressure drop.

[apathized]

I'm concerned regarding the 4-PSI pressure drop (0.5 higher then stock according to this Source) that the ARM intercooler creates. It's obvious the ARM has great cooling capabilities but will the pressure drop excessively stress out my stock IS20? Does anyone running it have any input if it's even a good product?

What does wastegate duty look like? Still its probably easier on the turbo than if you ran with stock DP/IC and a similar boost profile stage 1 tune.
