wtf is wrong with u ppl. jeez!!
an intercooler, does NOT have to go with a turbo. of course it may not be worth the money for More power as a cai would kill the same bird with a smaller stone. if u want to use it for another purpose other than air cooling such as COOLING UR ENGINE, then go for it cuz heat KILLS ENGINES. if u can somehow use it to drop engine temps, then go for it. engines last a LOT longer if they operate under LOWER temperatures. the closer they remain to outside regular temperatures, the better they are.
hes right, you dont HAVE to have a turbo to make use of an intercooler but it really wouldnt help at all not to mention youll prolly get flamed when youre out drivin around with a big a$$ intercooler and no turbo
