Default Intercooler for Greddy Turbo Kit

I know this seems like a stupid question but is the greddy intercooler the best intercooler to buy to go with a greddy turbo kit? Are there any intercoolers that would work better?

possibly but nothing is going to be crazy better and if your getting a greddy kit the intercooler will be alot mopre friendly with the parts of the greddy kit

it really doesn't matter, just get an intercooler that flows with your application. (ie, if you're planning to run 250whp, get an IC capable of 300hp, just so you know for a fact that it'll hold whatever you throw at it...)

A greddy one most likely won't work any better or worse than say...a spearco. You're going to have to cut charge piping to fit anyway, just get an IC that doesn't involve too much cutting of the bumper support

thanks for all the help...im not planning on acheiving 250 whp. My car is unfourtunately an automatic and i do not plan on adding too much to it except exhaust, intake, and a turbo. Should i also get aftermarket spark plugs if i get turbo? also, what kind?

NGK one step colder is best for boost.

your intake becomes your charge piping which goes form your throttle body to your intercooler

there will be an air filter on your turbo if thats what your asking but where your stock air box was will be a pipe with a mounted blow off valve in its place
