Default Intercooling your turbo???

I am pretty sure going to go FI and im pretty sure its gonna be a turbo. My question is has anyone ever hooked up the intake for the turbo on there intercooler. So the air that goes into the turbo is cooled before it enters and then its recooled before it enters the intake system. Is this possible and what would the effects both good and bad be?

It's hard to cool ambient air with ambient air. Think about this one for a second

There is a company that cools the intake with CO2. I can't recall the name offhand, but do a search and you'll probably find it. It works by putting a CO2 cooled element in the intake stream. They also make fuel coolers and spray coolers for radiators. The CO2 comes from a bottle just like a NOS bottle. The rub is that, just like NOS, you have to refill the bottle. HTH, GL

You have to cool the hot air will the cooler air. Not the cool are with the same air. Just get you an intercooler CO2 sprayer.
