Never ran one on my technica, also didn't do any autox or back to back racing

You can get away with not having one but you're severely limiting what your setup can do. You won't be doing any long 5th gear pulls or any kind of extended on/off boost or spirited driving. I'd say no intercooler would be limited to meth setups and drag racing only.

Not recommended, there's a reason that OEMs began installing charge cooling in boosted vehicles.

An oil cooler can only be "air to air" if you are running it with no oil.

Thread title fixed cause apparently no one knows what its like posting five minutes after you wake up at 3:30am

we do know. but we're not mind readers.

i dont think it would be necessary on a street car or a drag car (although i have one on mine), but for a track car, especially rally cross/auto x/time attack, i would want one for more stable oil temps.

i put one on my car, to gain a slight amount of oil capacity, stabilize oil temps, and maybe combat high oil pressure due to my BS delete and tight clearances.

having an oil cooler is a good idea, in fact I'd use an after-market unit if funds will permit.

Depends on the oil temps you experience and the oil you run. let the car decide. mobile 1 proven to protect up to 500F (imo, try to stay under 250F)... Id say if your temps are reasonable then more hardware is dead weight.
