coldair with tubrocharger?
alright, im just starting out with modding my car and i know that the first mods everyone says are tires, suspension, i/h/e, but i plan on turboing the car later on. i was currious if i should still get a cold air intake since the turbo heats the air so much.

#1. You can run a CAI w/o turbo.
#2. You can not run a CAI w/ Turbo.
#3. After going turblow, and if you have an I/C...there will be piping connecting from the intercooler to the intake manifold. I/C is good enough to get the cool air you need.

Well, you could use the CAI without the turbo, but when you get the turbo you can cut and modify the intake to fit your set up. It probably wont be a cold air intake after you modify it, but that way you can buy it now, and use it later...

Re: coldair with tubrocharger? (NOTA-EX)
You can still utilize a cold air setup with turbo. On WRX's, the turbo is placed in the rear of the cramped engine bay, so if you're running w/o a filter, the turbo will be ingesting heated ambient air. Although some would venture to say that the IC "should" take care of cooling the boost intake charge, you can still improve on it's efficiency by giving it some "cold air" to begin with.
But with an I4 motor layout, a cold air setup wouldn't be practical since the IC piping usually runs through the same airbox hole. And there's plenty of room for the heat to dissipitate to, as compared to a cramped engine bay/turbo placement.

Re: coldair with tubrocharger? (JSPECHB)
wow you guys are messed up, despite the ricey question. . .
cold air intakes differentiate from regular intakes by placing the filter where there is cool air.
so you can have a "cold air intake" with your turbo, just run piping for the filter away from the turbo and engine . . .
it doesnt make sense to have one though, the air being compressed by the turbo will be heated to a pretty (high) constant temperature anyway. if you want cool air its in the intercooler
