=== Multiple stages of compression === In automotive engines where multiple stages of forced-induction are used (e.g. a [[Twin-turbo#Sequential|sequential twin-turbo]] or [[Twincharger|twin-charged]] engine), the intercooling usually takes place after the last turbocharger/supercharger. However it is also possible to use separate intercoolers for each stage of the turbocharging/supercharging, such as in the [[JCB Dieselmax]] land speed record racing car. Some aircraft engines also use an intercooler for each stage of the forced induction.{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} In engines with two-stage turbocharging, the term ''intercooler'' can specifically refer to the cooler between the two turbochargers and the term ''aftercooler'' is used for the cooler located between the second-stage turbo and the engine. However, the terms ''intercooler'' and ''charge-air cooler'' are also often used regardless of the location in the intake system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.avtekk.com/ |title=Home |website=avtekk.com}}</ref>
