A charge air cooler (CAC) cools the air coming from a turbocharger before it enters the engine. When air is compressed by the turbo, it heats up, which makes it less dense and reduces the amount of oxygen available for combustion. The CAC removes this heat, delivering cooler, denser air to the engine. Denser air means more oxygen for fuel to burn, which improves power, fuel efficiency, and lowers exhaust temperatures. It also reduces stress on engine components, helping the engine run smoother a
