An intercooler cooles the charged air coming out of the compressor side of the turbo. When that air is cooled it becomes denser. The dense air then makes a bigger explosion in the combustion chamber thus causing more power.

What is the purpose of an inter cooler?

An intercooler is used to cool the hot, compressed air coming from the turbocharger or supercharger before it enters the engine. This cooler air is denser and contains more oxygen, resulting in more efficient combustion and increased engine performance.

Does an inter-cooler use more fuel?

Only indirectly. An intercooler can help an engine to run more efficiently, making it burn less fuel for the same amount of output power. However, inter coolers usually get used to make an engine deliver more power instead. And the driving habits of people using powerful cars means that inter coolers often will end up using more fuel.

What is the use of turbo inter cooler?

When the turbo compresses the air it also gets warmer. The intercooler cools the air after it's been compressed but before it enters the cylinders. Cooler air has a higher density, which means you can get more air into the engine. With more air you can burn more fuel, and when you burn more fuel the engine makes more power.
