dont mean to hijack my own topic but how does a intercooler work? does it get hot like the radator?

intercoolers cool the warm air that comes from the turbo before it goes into the engine. hot air expands, so the cooler air is more dense. if you had your turbo at say 10psi, the intercooler would put out 10psi of cooler air. denser the air, more air molecules and better performance. i dont know much on this stuff.....still learning. but thats all i can tell you
