Just wondering if upgraded intercoolers make a cooper s smoother to drive? Just read it on an ebay advert and was wondering if this claim has any substance?

Thanks

simply put...not really.

An intercooler ensures the air going into the chamber to burn is cold (cold air is denser and provides best burn = more power). Putting a intercooler that can supply more or colder air won't make a car that much noticably smoother really, maybe enough in terms of smoothness of the burn but not to the point where you the driver 'feels' it

Like i said it improves the burn and thus gives more power but thats all really, it won't make the car feel any different as to when the power comes on or off.
