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 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.
