Default Intercooled VS Non-Intercooled

After deciding which route I am going to take with the addition of a turbo kit, I wanted to know if I could run a kit like the GReddy kit on my Integra at around 6-7 psi WITHOUT an intercooler at first, then IF I decided to bump up to 8+ PSI, I could add the intercooler down the road. More than likely I would add it anyhow to produce more hp at the same amount of boost, but cash flow at first may not permit me to purchase the intercooler at time of kit purchase. OR do I HAVE to have an intercooler in order to run low boost so I dont fry any of my internals. I know on the SOHC civics at 6-7 psi, an intercooler isnt needed.

IC's aren't only for adding HP, its also for reducing detonation....food for thought

Yeah, I figured out that much. Thanks for the info, but considering Im going to start out with a standalone system, I should be good either way I choose. Thanks again.

A standalone cannot compensate for a hot charge from a turbo with no IC. Buy the IC and save yourself the grief later.

By the kit put it in the closet, and forget about it till you can afford the I/C.
