Why would anyone?
What would it add that a CAI does not, aside from flow restriction and weight?

Do you know what a Front Mount intercooler is used for?

It serves zero purpose for a N/A car. Well, aside from mAd tYt3 poSeUr looKz, y0!

Curious to the gain it might give over a traditional cai

in theory, an intercooler on a N/A engine will produce LESS power due to restriction in airflow.

DomN8, I definitely think you're confused. I do think you mean to be asking about cold air intake (CAI), and not intercooler. And, if I'm right, then the answer to your question is YES, many folks on the board have CAIs on their naturally aspirated engines.

Unless you're referring to an engine oil cooler... Those things exist...
