Is an intercooler really necessary....?
im already tired of my current combo.....so ive decided instead of doing a cam swap im going to build a turbo set up........im pretty sure i have decided on a mp 70 with a .96 ar.......the lq4 it will be running on is all stock with except for an ls1 intake......if im only going to be runnin 6-7 psi is an intercooler necessary......i planned on not using one just seeing what you guys have to say.....? i will be using stock truck manifolds flipped......
also.....i have -6an fuel lines with a tanks inc....255 walbro setup....will that be enough fuel....maybe a boost a pump...?.....what size injectors 60 lbs?
thanks

I would say on stock compression yes unless you want to run meth/alky. Also check out cxracing a few guys on here are running them including me and are very happy. About 170-220 bucks.

hmmm.....i guess i just didnt think water/meth injection is needed on a low boost application....i know if helps but didnt think it was bad to not have it....same with the intercooler.....this is in a 1970 elcamino....with alot of room and i just dont think it will get that hot......

Even 3-4 psi will produce a good bit of heat. The fact is with out some type of cooler your not going to get the full potential out of your set up. It also gives you a lot more safety and helps control IAT's and EGT's.
