If I install an intercooler off an 85 244Ti onto an 81 242 GLT and just leave the actuator hose set up stock like it came on the 81, how much horsepower will be gained. (No change in boost PSI, just cooler air to the intake.)

I plan to add a manual boost controller later on. I've heard that the manual controller can simply be inserted into the actuator hose. If I do it this way, what boost pressure should I set it at? I don't want to push the limits of the system. I want the engine to be fun to drive, but I want it to last.
