The only concern would be turbo lag introduction from a bigger IC. Tune/piggyback can make a sharper throttle response to make that lag less noticeable. But the fact the air has to fill up a bigger room before entering cylinders is a hard fact.
I myself am on the fence on IC route, especially when not ready for big build.

Well I'm looking at the forge intercooler, and they are claiming that the pressure drop is improved over the stock ic - not sure how. The intercooler itself is bar/plate and is not a step down intercooler, it's a little wider and a bit deeper. I prefer this design as it won't cover the radiator too much.
Its a tough decision.
