My grandmother once asked me how the gas got into the tires. She also stuck her whole head out the window while backing up. I guess she learned to drive before mirror technology. What is this thread about?

this is probably a Captain Obvious moment, but the intercooler is used to cool the air that has been heated due to compression. Does this also drop the pressure of the air in the intercooler? Charles (the constant gas law guy, not the BHR guy) says yes. Is this inefficiency factored in the size of the turbo?

Because LSD was only recently invented (1930's).
