A pipe coming off the turbo/sc is connected to the intercooler, the intercooler has another pipe that then connects to the throttle body. Most aftermarket intercoolers mount just in front of the radiator, so cold air can blast on it to cool the air going into the motor. What happens is when you compress air (such as in a turbo/sc set-up), the air begins to heat up (also in a turbo, you are using hot exhaust gases to spin the turbo). The colder the intake charge, the more power that can be made. An intercooler acts the same way that your radiator works in the sense that it is used to cool down the air going into it, where as your radiator cools down the water passing through your engine. Figured I'd give you a no bullsh*t answer because everyone else was busting your b*lls. Welcome.
WOW You're the first to actually answer the damn question, while the old timers were just flaming the damn guy.
Hahaha.... actually i ofund it funny because they totally turned themselves into cranky grannies
I didn't realize Nissan owners were snobs. But then again... these aren't regular owners.

Uhm, apparently you missed the point. It takes nearly the same amt of time/energy to flame the guy w/3 sentences of crap he won't give a rats a$$ abt anyway as it does to just answer the ?, have the n00b learn, and have the thread drop to the 5th page. Either way, you are spending the same time/energy -- which was the pt of my 1st post in here anyway.
