Fitting an intercooler lowers the temperature of the air once its been through the turbo.
Cooler air burns better, and therefore gives you more power/economy.
Thats why you car goes better at dawn on a crisp morning, rather than midday in summer
Intercoolers/fuel pump mods/exhaust/boost are a common series of mods in the Land Rover world which I currently know better than the cruiser world.
Intercoolers don't add much benefit at very slow speed unless fan assisted.
I've also heard that people claim economy/power benefits from a safari snorkel, cool air being rammed in, being the theory.
I'm more dubious of that one, expecting contorted pipe runs will minimise any gains.
