People often have an incorrect perception of how an intercooler works. Air isn't cooling down your charge temps, aluminum fins are. All an ic is, is a giant heat sink.

People often have an incorrect perception of how an intercooler works. Air isn't cooling down your charge temps, aluminum fins are. All an ic is, is a giant heat sink. The fins literally absorb heat then dissipate it out to other fins which get air cooled which in return re-cool down the interior fins that the charge air is passing through. An efficient cooler will absorb the heat, then cool itself back down and this cycles when you go in and out of WOT. For most street cars the amount of time spent in boost will not force the ic to remain in a "heated" state and by the time you need boost again your back to ambient.
