Wait. So you have enough money for a $1200 turbo, but not for an intercooler? What did you do, just leave that part of the turbo open?

no i didn't have enough time to complete the setup due to deployments like i said so i had no choice... and how is leaving the intake side open bad for the turbo? and i didn't buy my turbo for 1200 that's what it retails for
