<< I went ahead and intercooled it too.>>

There ya go.
Maximizing the boost with denser, cooler air.
The innercooling will give you the most bang for the buck when
tubocharging an engine.

<< Turbocharging may take a little bite out of performance, though, as
the fan itself is more restrictive than no fan at all.>>

Another yea and no thing.
 What you lose in the bottom end lag you start gaining in upper mid
range, and high end.
The little that you lose in the exhaust passing through the tubo's vanes
at low end, is paid off in spades when it kicks in.
Now it's time to add the bottle and the go button for the big nose
bleed-- : )
