When air passes through a turbocharger or supercharger, it gets compressed, which causes its temperature to rise. Hot air has lower density and less oxygen content, which negatively impacts combustion efficiency and engine performance. The function of an intercooler is to reduce the temperature of the air before it enters the engine, thereby: Increasing air density and the amount of air entering the engine Improving combustion efficiency and enhancing engine power Reducing the risk of engine knocking (pre-detonation), thus protecting the engine Improving fuel economy
