2.3T no intercooler?

[jstang209]

I am in the process of a 2.3T swap and was wondering can i use my stock radiator? or do i need a bigger one. Also does my engine need to be intercooled? and if its not will there be a big difference in power?

if you run it at originall settings. the intercooler helps prevent pinging. If you can get a front mount for the best.

an intercooler will increase power slightly.

In the end you want one, but it is not required.
