Noz Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 For the sake of a cheap eBay intercooler kit you can enjoy constant intake temperatures. No intercooler will LOOSE you power and with high compression cause more problems of knock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8KILR Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You definitely need an intercooler. If you want a shorter path perhaps an air-water intercooler would be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutters Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You don't need an intercooler, if your running very low boost. You could run water/meth to lower the temps also. However you are better of with an intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedrag Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 ok sweet as, just thought id throw the idea out there since itd be a much shorter path for the intake but i guess without running meth u all suggest an intercooler, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Fit an intercooler or charge cooler, I would deff not advise running without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory it should be safer and develop more power than without any kind of charge cooling... I can't think of many Turbocharged cars that have run without intercoolers over the last 20-30 years, the only one that immediately springs to mind was the old MG Metro Turbo - and we all know how great that was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
