Default intercooler

hey ya'll,

the question just came up to me tonight that "is it possible to put the intercooler w/o having the turbo setup?" if it is, how? like where to connect those in/out pipes?

i've heard that the intercooler can help to suck up the colder air to the engine, just by hooking it up between the air filter and the intake manifold.
just curiousity...

thanks

It won't work and it wouldn't help anyhow. Just get one of those cheap Arospeed front mount intakes.
Or you can buy one of those fake front mount intercoolers like the fake cross drilled rotors.

I twould actually hurt perfromance. The air would have to be drawn through a much longer tube, and then it would also have to make it through intercooler.
