do i really need a intercooler
i was looking for great deal on a intercooler for an incoming greddy kit but, the only ones that i can find worth getting is the one from flying miata for 750. is it really worth getting one if im only plan on using the stock boost for a while. i have a really tight buget so that why that kit isnt an option to me. is there any affordable intercooler kit that i can just bolt on ..because iv notice piping would be a problem to becasue i would have to make something for the vacum lines right?
i need lots of help please

$750???!!! Screw that noise.
Buy an intercooler for around $200 and the members here will help you with the piping. I haven't installed mine yet, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but you'll need a provision for the idle control valve and probably some kind of hookup for whatever BOV you use.

I would recommend an intercooler. I wanted a larger core, but didn't want to modify or remove my A/C. My solution was to go with a smaller core and alchy injection.
In addition, the core that I chose is more than adequate for anything that the Greddy setup can dish out.

A muffler shop can help and variusbends are available at autozone. You don't need an IC but you do need some way to cool the intake and a way to get the pressurized air into the intake the stock **** wont cut it past 4-5 psi. So i suggest you get a mock up made with radiator hose and then take that in to a muffler shop preferably with a mandrel bender and have them make the pipes for you. then go to lowes/homedepot to buy some clamps.
