Is it rice to ........
 

Is it rice to install my intercooler and not have my turbo installed. Before you guys roast me, I want to explain that my turbo will be from NA to STGIII with one day of down time. I call this project "day off down time"
OK, here's the story, I don't want to pull off my bumper cover more than twice and in order to make charge pipes, I must have all of my components, I.E. an intercooler. The shitty part is that as soon as I get my charge pipes created, I have to send the fuckers off to get them powdercoated :'( I don't want to move my intercooler. If it is ricey, then I'll not be a lazy-ass and take it back out; hell, I don't know. I need advice.

dude thats not rice just under construction.. but chickenwire with no intercooler behind it.... thats a different story

Just what I was thinking, if it is just for a few days, to get everything in there, that is perfectly fine, not rice, now If you were to put the Intercooler in like 3 months in advance just to show it off, then that would be rice. I will probably do the same, but again just for a few days.

Not really at all, since their is a huge restriction (the turbo) in the way, plus it over revs the turbo to drive it like that.

I took it off and put the stock header back on, It was ok I guess, I was using the DX tranny at the time, so it felt kinda slow.
