yes
A car can run with out an intercooler, but if it was designed to have an intercooler, the driveabilty will be affected.
The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.
I suspect one will be an intercooler for the turbo
Yes and No. Intercoolers cool air that is compressed in a turbo. You can setup an intercooler on a non turbo car and have it connected to the air intake and such... .....it will rob you of horsepower by sending air through a lot of unnecessary tubes.
Yes!
A turbo, an intercooler to coll the engine as turbos produce a lot of extra heat, an aftyermarket ecu as the fuel map of your car will have to be tuned, a dyno as your car will have to be tuned on a dyno.Installing a turbo in a naturally aspirated engine will greatly reduce engine life as the parts are not designed to run at such high temperatures and pressures.
If your boosting any car. What you need is the: -Turbo -turbo mani -oil feed -oil dran -oil flanges -exhaust flanges -injectors -intercooler -intercooler piping -BOV -WG -tuned ECU
yes
There will always be some oil in the intercooler. Part of the emissions system connects the engine breather to the airbox. As the turbo sucks air through the airbox it tends to suck some oil into the intercooler.
make sure you have not blow your turbo. If you did not blow the turbo you might have put a hole into the intercooler. This will cause you to use a ton of gas
this sounds alot like a turbo failure, although there could well be a leak in the pipes leading from the turbo to the intercooler, or from the intercooler to the inlet manifold. also check the intercooler for leaks. or it is the vacuum pipe that operates the waste gate on the turbo, or a seized waste gate.
Whatever the intercooler is for (transmission, turbo, etc), will most likely overheat and do some damage.
