intercooler = peace of mind...less chances of detonation...and better performance!

Not only for peace of mind but I ran mine down the highway with no intercooler just pipe connecting it and the power difference when I added the IC was amazing! It doesnt need to be some monster 14" tall 3.5" deep beast. Mine is just the simple Greddy type 31.
