The intercooler cools down the air going into the intake because the turbo runs off exhaust gases. An intercooler will not help a non- turbocharged car. If you want cooler air into your engine grab a CAI. By the way, the AC condenser kinda looks like an intercooler, you could pass it off as one.

Rep Power: 0 Get a Cold air induction. An intercooler in a non-turbocharged vehicle is freaking stupid. The point of an intercooler is to reduce the temperature of the air coming out of a turbocharger. This decreases its density = more power.
But, in a normally aspirated vehicle there is a huge, FREE supply of cold air. The air outside! CAI all the way.
this "intercooler" is freaking rice-esque to the max. It blocks your radiator (really bad) and probably adds weight (really pointless).
