a device mounted in tandem with either a turbocharger or supercharger. its purpose is to cool the air charge coming in from the turbo/supercharger. cooler air is denser, so it packs more power.
an intercooler is your turbocharger's best friend.

Sick ass mod to let people know "it's turbo". No, just playin'. It cools the charge air from a turbo or supercharged car. Usualy mounted in front of the vehicle, hence the name front mount. Hot air goes in on one side (hot side) and cool air comes out the other (cold side). Does'nt really increase horsepower but maintains it after beating up on your car. They come in different sizes depending on how much hp's you're putting down or how ricey you're feeling that day.
