In all fairness the intercooler "loss" wasnt that. The whole idea behind an intercooler is to increase density, on a turbocharged setup and a manual boost controller you will have a pressure drop with almost any intercooler, and will be forced to turn up the boost to compensate. On a turbo system running off the gate(Weather it be internal or external) the pressure is what defines the boost directly.
Even with less boost you are running a drastically higher density ratio at the same or lowe pressure ratio. In that case less boost will mean more power. The blower being a static boost pressure will see a slightly lower boost pressure since its driven off the motor and not a gate.
