you are thinking too much into the way that colder air produces more power due to it being more oxygen rich than hot air. This all true but the air that is compressed from the turbo or SC is HOT. IC just cools the air down. I am not really sure by how many degrees though. So without an IC you risk damaging your engine. the "knocking" effect.
