An intercooler isn't just for higher levels of boost. Although it does allow for higher boost by lowering the intake temperature approx 70 - 200 degrees and reduces the risk of knock and detonation. Lowerering your intake temps by 70 - 200 degrees even with only 8 lbs of boost, using an intercooler, creates a more dense air charge and in turn can create a more powerful fuel/air charge.

So even with lower levels of boost an intercooler can create for more power, but even better you can up the boost if you want to. I say intercool it.
