Intercooler?

When your car has a turbocharger (sometimes with superchargers, but not often), the intercooler basically cools the air you're putting through the turbo. when the air reaches lower temperatures, it becomes easier for the turbo to compress. with compressed air, the fuel system is capable of putting even more fuel into your cylinders per cycle. More fuel + more air = more power (insert tim allen grunting here)

Truckboy ... not to step on toes but you said an intercooler cools air you're putting into the turbo. Not true, intercoolers cool the air heated by the turbo. Heat caused by the air being compressed within the turbo. It cools the air entering the cylinders, cooler air means more dense air, lower egt, etc etc.
