Default turbo question...

if i have a turbo manifold, turbo and downpipe can i run that on my car without an intercooler and piping. dont really know turbo setups too well. obviously intercooler would be better but is it still usable without one?¿?

aint got enough for the whole setup yet so i was just checkin to see if it would be usable untill i got the IC. would it still add boost and what not or would it just spin and make the noise?

it would still work right... it just isnt going to be getting the colder air that is going threw the intercooler.. it would be working off hotter air but should still work. just have to use higher octane gas so its not so easy to detonate being it has warmer air. i dunno if thats right or not but it sounds kind of good to me

Get an intercooler bro. Hot heat will make you prone to detonation. Do it right the first time.

Either way, as long as he learns from the first mistake. LOL.
