Intercooler/Aftercooler

[twitchy]

Hey

i was looking at some cars at the drag races this weekend and came to wondering....most turbocharged engines use an intercooler which provide cool air to the inlet side of the turbo. Most of the supercharged cars I saw have an aftercooler which cools the air charge after it is compressed. Why doesnt a turbocharged engine use an aftercooler or a supercharged engine use an intercooler?

The intercooler is not there to draw cold air into the turbo inlet. The intercooler goes after the turbo and cools the compressed air that comes out of the compressor.

Fag is typically used in london to describe a cigarette.
