Water in intercooler

posted by  someone claiming to be Mr Brick Driver on  Fri Jan 14 07:53 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a 1983 Volvo turbo that I'm working on. The car has been sitting for about seven months. I took out the intercooler and found that there was water in it. What does this mean? Where would it have come from and why is it in there?
Thanks for any information and happy bricking.

I don't have direct experience with this but I can imagine the following:

Hot intake air (possibly exasperated by stuck air control door) which contains more moisture hits the cold intercooler and condenses.
