It will be worth your time to get one in there.

yeah i know i need to get one soon, i got some one on hmt modafyin one to fit im just waiting to for it, just wanted to make sure nothing to bad could happen because when i touch the charge pipe and it feels warm. i can wait till i get the ic people have said the turbo will "feel" better (with the ic) thanks guys

you will just break your ring lands, thats all

2stockrocketz

really?? how is that? the guy a few replys up said he was boosting 11psi....

absolutezroo

with no IC you'll have a higher intake air temperature..this mostlikly means detonation..the increased pressure in the cylinder makes for enough heat already..so you don't want hot *** air pooring in there too..get an IC

Well, for 5psi or lower I would'nt worry about it. In fact I would'nt be surprised if at that low of boost there is'nt much heat generated and you'd actully loose power by having a intercooler.

i agree too and dosent the turbo crysler lebaron sock come non-intercooled.i think you will be ok.

I am not argueing that it cant be done, but comparing a stock turbo charged car, to a car that isnt made to be turbo'd is 2 way different things.
