intercooler questions.. sounds stupid, i know nothing abt this stuffs... Options

[lubu]

im planning to putting a turbo into my 5sfe, what im curious abt is that does the intercooler ifself do anything?...it cools down the air so does this mean it increases the hp..or it only works with a turbo kit?

....another thing is how much is for a TRD w2a intercooler kit, not too expensive i hope.

cheers.

edited: dont worry abt the intercooler question, already know the answer ...where would i find reasonable price for a turbo kit..and a trd w2a cooler (they just look mad)

That's a stock ST205 intercooler, water pipes and pump with an ST185RC front heat exchanger... That is a nice setup, but works best on a 3rd gen 3s-gte motor. Otherwise, packaging will be an issue.

Looks like this when installed:

Nope, that is stock ST205 heat exchanger.
ST185RC is about 2/3 of that size.
