What does an intercooler do?

Even an amateur should know that cooler intake temperatures makes for more power. Basically, if you're running a turbo, you need an intercooler. How much power an intercooler will add depends on your application, but one thing is for sure, if you're without one, you will certainly be missing some additional HP

White Sox destroyed the Red Sox today.

Intercoolers don't add power, they actually might even take a little away, but it's there to let your car run higher boost levels safely, so..I guess in a way, it could add hp
