There is alot more to it that just power graphs. The innovative intercooled last about 10mins on track before intake temps get high enough that timing is pulled and you lose power.
This will be a highly engineered solution properly stress tested in a number of simulations on an engine dyno. I wouldn't be surprised if their test setup ran 100k+ simulated miles.
Cosworth make OEM and have experience building Formula one engines far superior to our road car engines.

Have you expirenced this yourself with the innovate? I hear it a lot from non owner/users but as an owner for over 18,000km and 8 full track days can't understand where it came from.
My longest session was 38min and the last few laps were the quickest, just like all the standard 20 min sessions. Several 20min sessions were in 97 degree heat, again no power pulled. Just solid repeatable power.
This is with the smaller 70mm pulley running about 11 psi, intercooled.
I'm very interested in what the Cosworth kit will do and how they will make the stage 3 power goal with this unit. It is smaller than the 210 sprintex unit but is advertised to spin a good amount faster. Once the boost is cranked up the temps will increase though.
Maybe it's with E85 or race gas? Maybe the blower can be upgraded?
Also I will bet the Cosworth kit with coolant will weight 15-20lbs more than the sprintex but interested to see the final weight.
If it performs to the stage 3 level on pump gas somehow I will consider changing over. I love the PD power delivery in this car, only thing even close to NA power which I would prefer. Seems like Cosworth agrees.
