The turbo is run from exhaust gases therfore the air charge is warm. The cooler the air the denser and therefore the better for combustion. The intercooler which acts as a radiator for the air cools the heated air from the turbo which allows the engine a cooler denser charge of air at the intake which leads to better combustion and more hp. I don't know which model year truck you have but if its 2005 then be careful of the boost as the intercooler has plastic tanks.
