Do I have to use an Intercooler?
This may be dumb, but do I really need an intercooler? I know they are better because most people use them, but so many prefab kits such as greddy and what not dont even have them. Will I lose a ton of power without one.

Yeah, I meant power loss without one compared to using one on the same setup. It jsut adds alot to the cost and complexity, so I wondering if it was really worth it for the results I am trying to achieve.

it also is a small safeguard against detonation too. basically, detonation is where the air just kinda blows up because its too hot from being compressed by the turbo, then compressed again by your engine. if you cool down your charge temp. before it gets to your engine, it will be *Slightly* less prone to detonation.
NOTE: this doesn't mean that just because you have a huge *** intercooler, your ---- won't detonate.

It also makes it that much safer to turn the boost up a bit which means more power.
