True, however you have to keep in mind that we are putting a radiator/intercooler directly in the air path so there was the potential that it could cause a bit of a blockage and reduce the boost pressure. Fortunately though the intercooler is extremely efficient and working perfectly.

As Josh showed the intercooler does have its own isolated coolant path.
