If you plumb the intercooler directly into the stock intake, it reduces turbo lag tremendously.
Also, just remove all the vacuum lines and cap them off, it also reduces lag, as well as frustration.

I have fiddled with this sort of thing recently.

My only annoyance with the car at this point is that the HVAC blower fan still refuses to chooch, but to be completely honest I've tried nothing and I'm completely out of ideas.
I need to do some commuting in the car to and from work over the next week or so, and the defroster is going to be pretty important on the rediculously cold mornings. I should probably do some legit troubleshooting today but I've got another social commitment this evening that is going to eat up the rest of my day. I also need to change the oil to something a little more catalytic converter friendly so I've got some 10w-30 Castrol GTX dino juice posted up in the garage also waiting for me to find time to change the oil. Sigh.
If I was going to follow Andrew's naming convention of using characters from Greek mythology I'd have to make this thing "Sisyphus"

You just need a little, residual from the heater core is probably enough. Is it still below 32? I am up to 40 already and my coolant temp never seems to dip below about 45, even with a low of 28.
It was just 28 for a short while.
