I figure someone will buy it if I keep bringing it up in posts. Did you get your car running yet? If not, quit posting on here, and get your *** out there and work on it. J/K!

you dont need an intercooler on an n/a, serves no purpose.
its like putting a bov on a na. it has no pourpose. an intercooler is there to keep the air commin out of the turbo cool for rentry why would you want to recycle air? plus there is not enough pressure to push air through the ic which would make you run rich. because the AFM is before the intercooler, and less air on other side of intercooler, I would Hypothisize. you also you lose some air efficiency to its resisitance.

You could use the intercooler on an na if you somehow cool the intercooler down a lot for like those really hot days. I'm sure the iced IC would make d little difference on a 100 degree day. But it's still a waste of time. There are better things you could do in that time.

Yea, I agree.. you would prob. be better off spending your money on something that would actually help your n/a a little more than an ic.
