I'm wanting to put an intercooler on my 05 touring Z. If I put an intercooler in my Z do I need a radiator or radiator fan assembly? Please help?

It's a small turbo that's coming with my intercooler. I didn't know you needed a turbo or not. But I still don't know if I need the radiator or fan assembly :/

If you're running an intercooler, a radiator is not necessary. In fact, neither is the turbo. Just mount an air filter directly to one side of the intercooler, then plumb the other side directly to your intake manifold. The intake temperature will be cool enough to negate the use of a radiator.

I'm not that stupid thanks. I was just curious and wanted to know. I've had my Z now for almost a year now and I'm trying to get I to circuit. I'm tryin to all my engine mods now. I've done all my air, suspension brakes, etc; I'm also dropping an ls2 swap with a supercharger. I have also found a chassis swap I can do to run it an awd. After my engine I'm doing my body. Thank I have done my research and read some things. My intercooler I was just wanton to get some personal opinions from fellow Z drivers.
