I have a TDI and muse occasionally about the intercooler. The idea behind the intercooler is to cool the charge and make the air more dense so you can stuff more fuel into the chamber without smoke.

The intercooler helps make more power.

But heat rejection represents some kind of energy lost no?

If I don't want to make more power it would seem that removing the intercooler would be a way to go.
