Gents,
It's really just about getting as many molecules of air as possible into 
the cylinder, add a turbo and you get higher pressure but also a higher 
temperature arising from the increase of pressure plus the friction from 
the compressor. The intercooler lowers the temperature again so the same 
volume of air at x pressure has a lower temperature than without the 
intercooler and therefore has more molecules....
Does that make sense?
Alex
