    apparently buying vendor intercoolers is a bad idea.

    you can source out one via ebay for less.

    A/A that is.

    Unless you want to twin charge, get an A/A intercooler.

    cheaper, more reliable than a A/W.

    I think the op is misunderstanding. The full stack IC is if you stay SC, if you go turbo you do an A/A. Although now that I think of it a SC IC would work too in theory....

    If your twincharging you can still use an S/C IC...because your still supercharged.

    then you need to raise your budget. if i was going turbo on a sc car i wouldnt go A/W. it might be an optional part but it is needed. compressed air gets got. you want cool dense air. not hot air. you could even find a used one from a completely different car or setup and make it work on yours.
