It should be fine. Just don’t boost over 7 psi. Plus, you have an RB26 coming anyways. When do you plan on doing that?

not running an intercooler is a bad idea the air that comes out of your turbo is too hot to use, most economical is to get the stock piping with side mount you will ruin your sr without an intercooler.
