...when air is compressed, it rises in temperature, so 100ºF incoming air (before the turbo or compressor) can exit at much HIGHER (10X) temperature.

...the purpose of the "intercooler" it to remove as much of that "increased" air temperature as possible before the air is "stuffed" into the cylinders.
