Yes, Yes, Yes, I think an Intercooler works to increase horsepower not by increasing boost, but by lowering the temperature of the intake air. The colder the air is, the more densely packed its molecules are. Therefore, more air can fit in the same combustion chamber volume. Additionally, by lowering the temperature of combustion gasses, engine wear is reduced and longevity increased. When outside air passes into the engine through the air box and is compressed by the turbocharger on it's way to the throttle body. Compressing the air also (as a side effect) heats the air. To lower the temperature, the air is fed through an air-to-air intercooler which, just like a radiator, cools the intake air. This sounds better than a performance mod that would rip my engine a new a**, expecially the way I drive(96 aero). I think it would be huge w. my k/n contraption.
Ait to air, water to air, any experiences?
