Sorry but this is largely inaccurate. Every time you compress air it gets heated and that level of heat exponentially increases as boost pressure increases which is when a form of intercooling is required to cool the charge. The only reason this kit doesn't come with one is because it is a low boost system. I'm sure there are a few ponies left on the table with this system not including an intercooler but as mentioned the additional hardware would add substantial costs.
