Notice most family car turbo cars like Merc, BMW, Audi, Volvo, VW, Peug don't come with any intercoolers? For Malaysian weather is it sufficient, or it's bad of the turbo & engine in the long run?
Last time Merc, Audi don't do big boost on their compressor/turbos for lower spec models but nowadays we see most of the has increased the boost to gain more power with smaller engines, which in terms translate to higher stress to the engine & more heat.
You'd see Japanese Turbo cars usually comes with Intercooler stock but their boost are usually much higher.
I know whether it's small boost of big boost an intercooler is always good to have, but seems manufacturer are pretty confident that their turbos can go without intercoolers.
But of course for engines like 335i with big boost they dare not save the intercoolers.
Or is it planned so that they can make profits out of repair & replacement once the warranty period expires & problems start occuring?
