primary purpose is to drop the intake temps to the turbos by about 20 degress F. this delivers more HP b/c of consistently cooler/denser air operation for your system - this can really be felt with stronger acceleration through the RPM band. also, it reduces a normal affect called "heat soak" that robs your motor of power (I do not understand this concept as well but it has been explained by others many times in this forum - especially the 335 forum)
