A FMIC on a stock SR will increase lag and decrease your hp. If you're turning up the boost, just buy a name brand kit like Blitz, HKS, Apexi and you'll be fine. Thay all have a pretty low pressure drop.

The bigger the intercooler you get the more lag your gonnna get simply because the turbin needs to fill that space to pressurize it. To compensate lag you can get a bigger turbin or a smaller intercooler.

well i have the bigger greddy front mount, the lag isnt very significant...full boost which is stock (7psi) for me, will come around 2500rpm

What size IC and turbo are you running?

FMIC
www.streetimports.com sells huge i/c cores like 24'12'3, big man, big, I like my HKS typeR FMIC kit, but to each is own!

Just keep in mind that bigger is not always the best route to take when it comes to IC's. Like Monkey said, the larger the IC the more area needs to be pressurized by the turbo. I still have my SMIC because until recently I didn't have a boost controller. Now that I have a controller, my next step would be to get a FMIC to help cool the higher boost I plan on running.
With IC's, its a matter of which one has the least pressure drop vs. whcih one is more efficient. Don't forget that you can also shorten your IC pipes and mount your IC similar to what SCC did with their Project Silvia. Shorter piping = less lag.
