You dont need it, but everyone will agree that it is certainly worth getting. Without it you will only be able to safely run a very small amount of boost, maybe 6 pounds. If money is tight you can always add it in later.

you can use any intercooler. they aren't model specific like oil fitlers... You'll want to look at the room you have to mount it. whether you want a SMIC, or FMIC. some times it just takes a lot of cutting and not caring. hope it helps.
