Doesn't look like anyone else asked, so I guess I will. I'd love to see some pictures!
I know it's only little 2.2 FWD cars, but I've owned one with an intercooler and one without. After owning both, I swore I would never build a turbo car without an intercooler, it just made that much of a difference. I'm not talking performance, either. The non-intercooled one made much less power, but more importantly, it was very sensitive to knock. I had to be careful not to lean into it pulling a hill or it would rattle, while the T2 car just pulled and never seemed to have a problem. Just my 2 cents, but mad boost or not, I wouldn't run a car without an intercooler if I could help it.
