Default E98 + turbo + efi = ic?

Trying to get a little bit more answers for a make a decision

Setup....stock lq4, 88mm turbo, auto etc. setup for drag racing

I have a air to water ic right now. Just want to see if I shod use it or not before I fab my turbo kit up. Ic would go in the car so if I don't need it, it would be alot easier and less of a hassle

My turbo will point out the bumper for freash air if it matters...

Ic or no Intercooler? Who's doing it and what are your thoughts?

Well from my research on the bullet for e98 to vaporize you need to have around 170 degree air

So I'm assuseming if I ran a air to water and my iats were 90ish. That wouldent be good for fuel and power
