Garry,
Intercooler means the same as Turbocharger: Performance
The Intercooler - when well designed and mounted brings you an increase in
power of:
Take Off: +7% = 123 HP
Max. Continuous Power: +6% = 106 HP
You can see in the Rotax Owner Manual up to which altitude you have the
power.
Rotax gives you the option for modification with an Intercooler -(acc. the
manual)- but all the work around the Intercooler (design, mounting,..) is
your job - You have an Experimental aircraft. Not all guys want an
Intercooler. Price is on of the reasons why Rotax don't have an Intercooler
on his list.

What are the benefits of the intercooler? What do you get in return for
your money, labor and weight? Why didn't Rotax design the engine with an
intercooler?
