An intercooler, or charge air cooler, is an air-to-air or air-to-liquid heat exchange device used on turbocharged and supercharged (forced induction) internal combustion engines to improve their volumetric efficiency by increasing intake air charge density through isochoric cooling. A decrease in air intake temperature provides a denser intake charge to the engine and allows more air and fuel to be combusted per engine cycle, increasing the output of the engine.

Yes!
The need for an intercooler is solely Dependant on the turbo blowers. As the blowers are pushing more air into the combustion chamber, the air becomes less dense as it becomes heated through the movement through the turbos. Intercoolers function to drop the temperature of incoming air into the turbos so that when the air is forced into the combustion chamber it is cooler and more dense, hence, creating a better situation for combustion. As the air is not being pumped into the combustion chamber and simply aspirating naturally, there is no need to cool the air before a heating cycle that isn't present in a non-turbo engine. Intercoolers, however, do look really awesome.
Yes. A really good TIG welder can do this. Ask around at radiator shops. JB Weld never works on this kind of stuff.
Usually, intercooler cracked at corners, duct work leakage from holes chaffed thru from other wire harness or hoses or wastegate diaphrams leak also causing lack of boost.
A car can run with out an intercooler, but if it was designed to have an intercooler, the driveabilty will be affected.
A turbocharger intercooler cools the compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine's intake. By lowering the air temperature, the intercooler increases air density, allowing for a greater mass of air to enter the combustion chamber. This improves engine efficiency, enhances power output, and reduces the likelihood of knocking or pre-ignition caused by excessive heat. Overall, the intercooler plays a crucial role in optimizing turbocharged engine performance.
Yes, search clubgp.com for intercooler options, the ZZPerformance intercooler is the best on the market at this time.
To install an intercooler on a non-intercooled 1997 7.3L Powerstroke, first gather the necessary components, including the intercooler, piping, and clamps. Begin by removing the factory intake and turbocharger outlet pipe. Then, mount the intercooler in front of the radiator, ensuring proper alignment and clearance. Finally, connect the intercooler piping from the turbocharger to the intercooler and from the intercooler to the intake manifold, securing all connections with clamps.

You can put intercooler on any car regardless of kind of transmission.
Whatever the intercooler is for (transmission, turbo, etc), will most likely overheat and do some damage.
No, there should not be.
No.
you need to take off front bumper, grill, front bar and then separate intercooler from airconditioning cooler.
There will always be some oil in the intercooler. Part of the emissions system connects the engine breather to the airbox. As the turbo sucks air through the airbox it tends to suck some oil into the intercooler.
yes
