Default d16z6 idea?

just an idea. i will be turboing my civic this winter. i have some of the parts already like the intercooler, piping, injectors, etc.

i am running a cold air intake, but is there any benefit to running the intercooler now with a cone filter at the end? In theory it should cool the air more right? Let me know what you think :D

there is no benefit to running the intercooler without a turbo, you may even lose some power since the air will not be free flow through intercooler since the turbo is not there to force it through.
it will only make you look like an idiot ricer.
