Why would you have a intercooler, but no turbo? Do you even know the purpose of a intercooler? Silly noob...

you have to be an ass about it. This is the forum where new people post anyway. To answer your question, yes you can install an intercooler but it would just act as a very big intake. Without a turbo charger the intercooler doesnt do much, and isnt worth spending money on with a turbokit.94 DB8: SOLD

Well the main purpose of an intercooler is to cool the air before it reaches the intake manifold on a boosted vehicle.. Without a turbo it wouldnt do anything, but act as a long coldair intake.... My advice to you is not to waste you time or money unless you plan on turboing your car....

How am I a ass about it? If anything, I am helping him. Think of how much people will laugh at him. http://search.ebay.com/search/search...ake&category0=
At least this will be somewhat useful. A good turbo kit will range anywhere from $1100-2000.Comment

Did not even notice the holes. (I have 56k, what can I say.) Like that plastic cover is going to stop water from being sucked in. bahahaComment

I would think that regular intake air temp is still cooler than if it were to go through a turbocharged car intercooler system...know what i mean?

I bet if you ran a cai through an intercooler you would lose hp. just get an egay short ram and put a k&n on it and call it a day.spin cityComment

a turbo compresses the air to say 10psi, in doin that the air heats up when it compressed so a intercooler cools down that air cuz a cold intake charge is more dense so u can have more air which then = more fuel = more power

Intercoolers are to cool the intake charge from a turbo. They have absolutely NO function without a turbo.
If you know what you're doing, you can build and install a turbo kit for under $1000. However, considering the original topic of this thread, you don't know what you're doing. I suggest you read everything you can about turbos.
