Actually there are many kits that don't come with intercoolers. For example, Greddy makes some Honda kits that don't come with intercoolers in order to keep the kits emissions legal in all 50 states. They also don't come with BOVs. You don't NEED an intercooler for a turbo system, but obviously it's better for the engine, it makes more power, and it's the smart thing to do.

Anyways, for you guys with intakes (which I'm guessing is why I can hear things better in the engine bay) is it normal to hear a swish noise when you are giving the car gas? Louder as you give it more gas? Not when you release the gas but when you apply it. It's just so loud that I can't imagine it being the turbo... it's almost as if the BOV was making noises while giving it gas and then when I let go it does it's releasing noise (Ptsssss)... I just want to make sure everything normal. Anyways, let me know what you guys think about the noise. Thanks.

that was the V-tec engaging...

i remember talking to this kid i know in gainesville, ga one weekend. he drives a 97 Mustang Gt if that helps...lol

Me: man it looks like its about time for some new tires. Those wires are showin a little bit.
Kid: nah im not worried.
Me: why not?
Kid: my tires don't have wire.
Me: uh yeah Alex they do. Your tires are steel belted.
Alex: no they're not.
Me: ok so why does it say that on there and car tires come steal belted, under normal circumstances?
Alex: i worked at a tire shop for a year. I know that no tire comes with steel wires in it..
Me: ~walks away shaking my head.~
