is it worth it to get a vrsf intercooler with dinan stage 2

when i purchased my car it already had a dinan stage 2 tune on it and I love it but what can i say i'm always looking for more power, so my question is if i get a vrsf 7" intercooler will there be any noticeable gains with the dinan stage 2 tune?

Yes. Lower IAT's and less pressure drop than stock.

Yes mostly in the high end, your IATs will be significantly lower. And less heat soak

15WHP. 20 WHP max.

The problem is your tune can't take full advantage of additional mods. It's an off the shelf map so it's still conservative.
