Default Swapping ist generation engine and tranny to twin turbo...

Someone suggested to me if my tranny goes on my 1993 Lexus Gs, i should invest on swapping the motor and trans with the twin turbo.. I see all the post but question: Do i need to install a intercooler, because most turbo engines have intercoolers in them?

if you do invest in a GTE swap, are getting the motor set separate from the clip? or are you buying a clip? because.. if you buy the clip, you can use the stock side mount intercooler from JZS147 Aristo clip. You can save some money and use the stock smic, unless you want to flaunt your GTE set up and spend more money on a bigger fmic.
