Driving with no Intercooler.

[martin_y]

I'm assuming the car wont run without the intercooler?

Am I correct in thinking the air input sensor wont see the correct amount of air, and therefore I wont be able to drive it?

[lancerevo3]

correct

Any hose to replace the intercooler will solve the problem though. It may not be any good for performance, however.

Yes you can drive without an intercooler as long as you complete the circuit /yes

What Wodj said... that's what the kind car thieves did when they were driving around after stealing my FMIC - just plumbed in a metal tube to complete the circuit :)

Thanks guys. I need to move it about a mile like this , I'll just tow it.

[miller]

towing it, make sure all ignition is on etc. Maybe better to plumb a pipe in and drive it that mile.

I would just put a piece of straight pipe on to complete the loop and keep the car off boost.

[martin_y]

I plumbed in a hard piece.

Shes at the panel shop now to get slam panel straightened, and bumper and bonnet painted.
