first of turbochargers are not illegal in Malaysia at least not yet
secondly you can put an intercooler in your front bumper just for the looks, it is not illegal as well but the likely outcome is that you will get pulled over more by the authorities because they will assume you have a modded car and try to search for faults but they can never issue you anything based on having an intercooler
this part is just for fun: ive seen people who use intercooler for looks only and when i asked them they call it an interfooler because it can fool people into thinking you have a turbo car but only when its turned off and parked once it starts rolling I think they will have a good idea on what it really is :biggrin:

they can assume whatever they want but as long as your engine code matches the code stated in your geran they cant do anything to you
unless of course you have other offences like dark tinting and loud exhaust thats a whole different story
but as far as I know Turbo is not illegal
so if your worried about them accusing of using turbo car dont be

harsh but true ks harsh but true.

on topic : i'm not one who'd prefer to add on unnecessary weight so i'd skip it but no it will not cause any problems but you will get pulled over more. had a friend who had an interfooler. made a fool of those who pull him aside during roadblocks but it gets annoying at one point so he decided to remove it

will never understand 'interfooler' culture
having a interfooler, sure it does effect your radiator performance.

Even with use of bodykit also already consider illegal by JPJ. It's difficult bro.. All what they want is just :banghead::banghead: money.

Agree with Crazyee, once he puts the intercooler, blocks the radiator.. then heating problem la, aircond not cold laa..

Very usefull to put intercooler that is not functioning. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
