Innercooler purpose?

turbo guys - correct me if i'm wrong. the innercooler is BOTH for engine
safety and for performance. it cools down the air going into the intake,
letting your engine run better, faster, and more efficient. I've heard that
the better (ie. colder) your intake charge is, the better your gas milage
will be as well as giving you more power.

Yep. An intercooler cools the incoming air between the turbo and the
intake manifold. The purpose is to get heat out of the air. This
does several things.

1. Cold air is denser and the more air you pack in, the more power.
2. Heat is bad, and if it gets hot enough the fuel and air will
ignite without spark and cause detonation. Detonation = BAAAAD!
3. Looks super cool and gets lots of chicks.

#3 may be slighly inaccurate but you get the idea.

come on Dave you know you'd have LOTS of chicks flocking all over you if you
stuck a HUGE ass intercooler on....come on you know it....

HAHAHA =)

Actually in a strange way this intercooler thing is inversely related to grape juice.

I don't know about the mileage thing but here are some facts.

Gas/air mixtures can be changed by a couple of environmental factors.

Cold air can contain more fuel (purpose for intercooler)

Compressed air can hold more fuel (purpose for turbo)

Cold compressed air can hold more fuel than both of the previous. Therefore producing a larger volume of expansion when ignited, however the size of your combustion chamber is only so big. Therefore more force is exerted on the piston and eventually producing more force down through the drive train to the wheels (the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone) and the car goes faster. Yay!

Grape juice inversely can hold more sugar when you change a few environmental factors too. If you heat it up and add sugar it can suspend more sugar in the liquid than if you mix it when it's cool - thus you have a super-saturated liquid. The object of all car enthusiasts is to get optimal, saturated air/gas mixtures in a balance that doesn't produce lean mixtures which can be explosive and damage the engine. In a similar way Welch's grape juice is determined to make us all diabetic.

You will get better performance because you can safely run a higher
boost pressure without any predetonation and predetonation can
severly
damage internal parts of an engine I am fitting a water to air
intercooler from a 2.0t to my engine and hope to be done soon and
will
have a air to air intercooler for sale at the time Iget this done and
at the same time should have some facts about pressures and
intercoolers--- In BC-BFLegacyWorks@egroups.com, Jay Erlenbach

Let me know when you get done.

I'm interested in an A-A intercooler for mine, very much so...
