S8E1 Air-to-Air Intercooler, Now With CO2!!

High intake air temperatures can be detrimental while cooler ones are beneficial, particularly in boosted setups. But how detrimental is "bad," and how beneficial is "good"? To answer these questions, the team investigates the advantages of an air-to-air intercooler, focusing on its impact on power output and resistance to detonation. They also experiment with external CO2 foggers designed to enhance the intercooler's cooling efficiency even further.
