what would be the point of having an intercooler on your car without a turbo.
thats what we call an interFOOLer.
find out what an intercooler does before you pay to have someone zip tie it to your car

actually sure attach one end to your muffler, it cools off exhaust gases and makes a........safer environment.

hahaha, dang guys! he asked a serious question. AND admitted he had no knowledge of F/I...
it is funny, but i can see where hes coming from. It could potentially cool incoming air, how much cooler than say a cold air intake? probably none. But the basic principle is the same.
to answer your question, there would be no benefit to installing your intercooler without a turbo. just get a CAI. All the intercooler does is cool down the air going into the intake after it has been charged. (charging the intake air causes it to be very hot, almost as hot as exhaust)
