Power and torque of an engine are directly proportional to the amount of air entering the combustion chamber if mixed with the right amount of fuel. |
By lowering the charge air temperature with an intercooler it results in a higher mass of air entering the combustion chamber. |
This will give an increase in power and torque if the vehicle is tuned correctly. |
A good intercooler package can increase the power by as much as 30% when fitted to a non-intercooled turbo vehicle. |

|
| Better fuel consumption |
An intercooled vehicle will always outperform the same non-intercooled vehicle in the fuel consumption stakes. |
|
The reason being better efficiency caused by extra power and torque for the same engine capacity and lower operating temperatures that will result in less friction. |
|
|
| Improved Reliability |
Intercooling will cool down the charge air and will result in cooler exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). |
The most common areas affected by high exhaust gas temperatures on turbo charged vehicles are - turbos, cylinder heads and pistons. |
Intercooling will result in lower operating temperatures for turbos as well as cylinder heads and pistons. |
A Intercooler will help keep all engine components at a stable temperature and intercooling is one of the best ways to prevent turbo failures. |
