But it will run alot better with an I/C. Cool dense air is what you want & an I/C creates that for you. There are NO significant drawbacks to an I/C. It only helps with the additional air you are pumping into the engine.

There is always a drawback!

Drawbacks of installing an I/C is mainly Boost Lag depending what are the:

- I/C dimensions, Intake and Outake width ports and I/C Brand Quality

- Turbo Specs and Brand

- I/C pipping width and distance between turbo & throttle body


And then there are also...

- Fitment issues or Complications

- Increased Weight and Decreased space into the engine bay

- Surplus total expense to cover all parts and labour

I think that might be all

Here a link to a article that rebuts most of your points:

Read it if you want. If not thats ok. We will agree to disagree on this point.

Yes I read the article and this is the most important sentence of all :

"In reality using an intercooler which is too large can hinder airflow so there is an important case of getting the correct size for the application"

I am not saying an i/c isn't important, I just pointed out the drawbacks of having it but that doesn't mean it's not worth it!
