Hi everyone,
I tried searching Google/here but I couldn't find any information unless I am just a potato.
I recently got a kTuner for my car (Phearable Stage 1.5, still in the mail) and I've been doing research on other upgrades for my 19 Si.
I know one thing that a lot of people have pointed out is the importance of an intercooler to help with heat soaking. Because I am not too familiar with the mechanism of the intercooler, I am wondering if one is still necessary if you live in a colder state. I live in Upstate NY and it's below 70 degree just about 90-95% of the time.
So I'm wondering if an intercooler is something that's still important because heat soak is mostly independent of ambient temperature or if it depends 100% on it.
tl;dr do I need an intercooler as a priority if I live in a cold state?
