intercooler on ze 5psi setup?

[kami_no_michi]

ok just brought my turbo kit from a guy on here

so basically i got the turbo/manifolds/dp/wastegate/bov and fmu

i know i still need to got a afpr and wideband.

but can i get away with stock injectors and no intercooler on this setup. or would u advise me to get them to be on the safe side.

my power goal is around the 300bhp mark.

definitely need injectors, as for the inter cooler im not exactly sure but having one would be best.

I would get an intercooler. What type of wastegate do you have to regulate 5psi? That sounds pretty low. It better be a large external w/ a wussy spring.

Yes having an intercooler is better than not ,,, but depending on your turbo, driving conditions, and future plans.. For the time being i would say no.

I look at your situation this way spend around 300 on parts(cheap intercooler, pipes, and couplers) then routing piping.. Big Pain In the a-- and a decent amount of time

Or focus on things that really are going to make a difference.. I would start up a megasquirt setup especially if you are focusing on 300bhp... At your stage management is way more important than cooler air...
Fuel delivary is the big concern 280's with a fuel pump and managment and why not run 10 psi
