I just want to clarify that an intercooler is not like an extra radiator, it cools the charge of air from the turbo after it's compressed. When air is compressed to say... 14.8 PSI a byproduct of that compression is increased heat. The intercooler cools that compressed charge of air before it hits the intake manifold but does not flow any coolant or anything, just air.
