Chad, I've been looking into this. I wouldn't run a turbo without an intercooler. No way, no how.
One thing that is kinda a problem with the Matrix kit is all the fuelling is done via the chip, so there are no adjustments you to make if the fuelling isn't where it should be. Expect your project to cost far more than you expect. When I looked into this I figured out that it'd be cheaper to just pull the 16v and drop in a G60 motor instead... -josh --- Chad Rebuck <[email protected]> wrote: > I am getting very close to purchasing the Matrix 16v > turbo kit ($2300, no > intercooler).
