all facotry turbo'd cars have IC's...they have to. no, having 2 IC's is a waste of money and will drop psi more than needed unless it's a twin turbo setup w/ an IC for each turbo... i've seen that on a 350z in a mag. still un needed though

The Typhoon/Syclone didn't have IC's, the eighties turbo Buicks (Skylarks) and I think even Grand National/T-type Buicks as well, but I could be wrong about them. I don't think the late 70's early 80's Turbo Firebirds had IC's. If the GN's didn't have IC's, neither did the late 80's GTA Trans Am's. I guess you are noticing the trend...

edit: Starting in 86, the Grand Nationals had air-to-air intercoolers, so the 88 (?) GTA's must of had them too.

i was refering to tuner cars.... larger engined cars have larger turbod' that don't need them b/c of the cooler ambient air.

Grand Nationals (3.8L) aren't tuner cars..?

You said "all factory turbo'd cars have intercoolers", I was simply disputing that statement.

Note: Some factory Turbo'd Daytona's (2.2L) didn't have intercoolers...
