It "could" but it really depends on how high your compression is and how much of a threshold it will have for pre-igniting the mix with boost on board. You might find that at 5psi, with some cheapo ducting to try and cool the comp housing, high octane fuel and a few degrees of timing knocked out that it's safe enough but you'd need to monitor knock very closely as I doubt standard Elantra piston ring lands would sustain high levels of knock for extended periods, the real concern though is preignition as it will melt holes in shit before you realise there's an issue.

For the cost of a cheap cooler, you can likely keep the timing where it is and not sacrifice response, run 5psi safely enough, and not have the heartache. Bare in mind that 5psi or not, tuning of "some" sort will be required. You might get away with an SAFC or a Jaycar fuel controller but you will need some way of giving it more fuel than the factory ECU will think it should have at a given point. Without knowing how big the factory injectors are (my guess would be 240-270cc or so) it's hard to know what other hurdles you might follow.

Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done or that it's stupid, if you have the time and money and desire, do whatever the hell you want.

Totally wrong turbo. A td05 on a 2.0 or 1.8 will not spool well. On an rb20 it spools at about 3 but that a long wait for just .5bar, trust me I've had to put up with that for a while now.

They would work well but im pretty set on a kando atm. U can use the following vid as to boost reference spool times with a td05.

Different car but same motor

Anyway I wont ramble on about a hyundai in a skyline forum to much longer

Ill start a build thread when i start turbiing it. Thanks for all ur help guys

Early 90's Subaru Liberty/Legacy RS Turbos used a water to air intercooler.

you can buy the whole kit for under $100 I'd say.

They seem to be good for about 160awkw on the subies using a TD05 (a mitsu one.. not Kando).

Looks like this in the engine bay

it then pumps the water/coolant to a thin condensor/radiator out the front.

Looking at the pic of your old car, you could easily fit the cooler part in that front passenger side of the engine bay.
