everything to do with it. Compressing the air heats it up, and the higher the temps the less timing and boost you can run to prevent detonation. So you can run a blown engine with no intercooler but you have to run less boost and less timing, which means less power. Anything you can do to cool the intake air or absorb the extra heat (water injection) will allow you to make more power safely.
