From what I hear, the actual parts they use are decent quality.

I just don't like how they use the SMT-6 as an extra injector setup instead of a piggyback style.

Why would you need to put a bigger intercooler on?

It is a piggyback unit...meant it like most piggybacks how they alter the voltage from your MAP or MAF sensor (depending on vehicle) to change fuel consumption.

How big a intercooler isn't really that relanvent. The efficiency of the intercooler is. The setup is only a moderate amount of boost pressure and the size of the turbocharger, it's not sending a massive amount of airflow (CFM). A LARGE intercooler isn't necessary.
