Default Intercooler

I have a non-turbo engine and I was woundering if puting an intercooler would do any good or if for some reason I shouldn't put one in. What do you think? what size 1g, 2g.....? how beneficial would it be?

No. It would not help. A turbocharger superheats the intake charge. By routing it through an intercooler, it cools the air back down to the ambient temperature. Or something like that.
Running your intake through and intercooler would not cool the air anymore than it is already. It may even rob you of some power because your NA engine must "suck" air into the motor. Whereas a turbo is forcing air into the intake. (hence the term forced induction)

Unless the e-charger is heating the air up more than the ambient temprature, I would say no. I am no expert on intercooler technology, but I don't think it will make any difference in performance. What CFM does the e'charger flow? I think stock the motors draw around 400 to 500 cfm.
