2.5 psi of pressure drop in the stock IC on a stock-turbo FD running 10 psi at 7000 RPM. I think Sport Compact Car did some tests with their Project RX-7 a while back and they measured it (they also measured the ASP/M2 Medium IC at about 1 psi of pressure drop). Or I read it somewhere else. I didn't measure it, and I don't really know if it is accurate or not, but it stuck in my head and seems plausible.
