Detailed Product Description

An intercooler is essentially a radiator designed to cool the hot "boosted" air coming
out of the turbocharger. Because compressing air raises its temperature (generally
around 150 degrees F above ambient air temperature for every 7 psi of boost),
intercooling goes hand in hand with turbo charging. Since the stock boost in the
22R-TE is about 7 psi, this means that the temperature of the stock system's output
(on a 70 degree spring day) would be something like 220 degrees F. Raise the
boost to 14 psi, and you're looking at 370 degrees F when the air reaches the injectors; not only does this heat prevent your engine from reaching its performance
potential, the hot air expands the fuel mixture, leading to detonation and poor
mileage.
