Check out this article on intercooling. They basically claim the air becomes more dense that's fed into the turbocharger. That part sounds good.

They also say it will keep the engine temperature down a bit. You want your diesel to stay at it's optimum pretty hot temperature. I wonder how much it would actually affect the engine's temperature. I would guess not that much.

Not sure how much more boost you could handle. It might make your factory 13psi more efficient. That wouldn't be damaging, would it?
