i've been running 5psi on my kits, with no intercooler, and have had zero issues in 3 years. most people will tell you that an intercooler below 6psi is a mistake on a centrifugal unit. running without one also allows the curve to stay to the left. i would only add one if i were to run 7lbs or more. i'm currently at 7 and intake temps are within limits.
What about an air-to-water intercooler, more efficient, place it were you want?
