Best Answer

The intercooler hoses deliver air from the turbocharger outlet to the intercooler inlet and from the intercooler outlet to the engine intake manifold. When air is compressed in the turbocharger, it gets heated. The intercooler cools the air coming out of the turbocharger before it goes into the engine. Cooling the intake air helps prevent detonation (engine knocking) and lets the engine use a little bit higher compression ratio.
