I've not been able to find the efficiency of the TDI intercooler, but owning an '03 ALH, they run about 15-18 psi boost stock on the variable vane turbo; I've got 26psi peak running through mine now.
for miata comparison; that's with a hybrid turbo, stage 4 chip, nozzles, downpipe and some other mods. It should be putting down a might 140hp or so. (Up from the stock 90hp) ...of course the 250 foot pounds of mister torque helps out :) still knocking along at 235K miles. I hope to make it 350K.
