Yes an intercooler would be a very good idea ! if your running stock boost then you wont need a large one... Also with any turbocharged/supercharged vehicle u want to use the highest octane gasoline you can.. This prevents Detonation ! Detonation = BOOM !! Sure you will be fine on lower grades, but if you intend on performing the motor at all/high RPM's underload Then make sure you are running a higher octane ; )

and i don;t even know if this motor has a knock sensor
BTW do you own a 89 gts with a GZE or just like them?
I do run a page called www.midwest4ag.com
and have a super charged mr2 and corolla!

If your running a stock 22RTE and using it as a winter beater I wouldn't bother. Stock it runs about 6-8 psi depending who you talk to, at stock boost levels it won't really make too much of a diff.
Mines a bit modified with cam and different turbo but still close to stock boost levels and I've had no audible pinging with 87 gas, but I mostly run 91 anyway.
Your first bit of cash should be spent on an boost and EGT guage and then a better turbo like a CT26 or a some sort of T3/T4. Then if you go up in boost put a IC in, also your gonna need some sort of engine management if you go over 10 psi or so.

hows the truck run with a ct26? and why not just rebuild the ct20?
