If you mean the non-intercooled kit, i would say yes, i have heard alot of people say the hacker/tweaker kit cannot be upgraded to the intercooled without spending alot of money

all you need is an intercooler and the ability to custom fab some pipes. A good exhaust shop should be able to cut and weld some piping for you and you won't have to spend too much. The main cost will be the intercooler itself. When you buy IC kits from companies, you're really not paying for the piping cause the piping is very easy for them to do. You're paying for the IC, the R&D, and the mark up. Do some searching and check out some local shops to see if they can do a custom job for you for a decent price.
