What are the advantages of having an intercooler?
Intercoolers are routed downstream of the blower between the blower and the throttle body. It’s job is to cool the air charge temperature, the less heat there is in the incoming air the less prone an engine is to detonate. Also, cooler air is denser air. Denser air contains more oxygen for the fuel to burn than heated air. Discharge temps of a 8psi blower are in the 200 degree range, after cooling it is not uncommon to see a drop of over 100 degrees. The cooler the air the safer your car will be.
