[QUOTE="19RaptorPB, post: 1484237, member: 34005"] The air forced through the intercooler from the turbos is hot. The intercooler’s job in it’s basic function is to cool the hot air with volume and airflow just like a radiator for the water running through your engine does. Without an intercooler the intake would be receiving hot air from the turbos and it is common knowledge that heat = loss of power or in this case, loss of potential power. With an upgraded intercooler, the hot air coming from the turbos is able to cool down more rapidly and in a greater volume, therefore providing cooler air to the intake and preventing loss of performance as the demand for power climbs. To put it simply - if you go take a drive in your raptor right now and do a bunch of 0-60 runs back to back, you’ll notice that the time it takes to reach 60 will become longer and longer because the air going into your intake is hotter and hotter therefore robbing your performance. With an upgraded intercooler, you drastically improve the temperatures reaching the intake, thus maintaining the levels of performance from the first 0-60 run to the last. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can do fifty 0-60 runs and not expect to lose some performance, but with the upgraded intercooler you won’t lose near as much or near as fast. I hope this helps but if not you can google or YouTube the benefits of an upgraded intercooler on a turbocharged engine and I’m sure you’ll get the point.
