no intercooler? Options

[pure_dx]

this is the first time i've seen the the throttle body pipe go directly into the turbo like this



is there suppose to be no intercooler or something? cuz most of the time you would connect the piping of the throttle body to the intercooler, but wassup with this 5sfe? is this how you're suppose to turbo a 5sfe?

if it's under 8psi or less, you don't really need an intercooler, i've read that somewhere while researching for my initial 5sfte project.

just because somone says that on the internet, dosnt mean its true.

not to mention, that most turbo cars have a very hard time running just 7-8psi. you would need a very small exhaust to keep the boost that low.
