Question Noobie question regarding intake and SF Turbo.

Ok, so I'm still very VERY new to cars (I spend most of my time making films, until I got my lx coupe . I'm looking into a future SF Turbo Kit, but had a question about intake. Is the included intercooler with the SF kit an intake componant? Or would getting a AEM CAI still be something to look in to. I know this sounds hella amature, but like I said I'm still very new to cars n' motors. Thanks.

if you go turbo, you dont need an intake

just dont buy anything for ur engine til u get the turbo, i mean as far as bolt ons, intake/header, but if u want to get like a clutch of something, things like that would be in ur best interest

if you get the a/f gauge get a wideband o2 sensor. something i learned from this site if u get the a/f gauge and not the wideband the a/f is just for looks, wont read accuraletly. you can get it at any speedshop that sells performance parts.

you only need the windband o2 sensor for fine tuning, the a/f guage without the windband will still tell you if your basically runing lean or rich
