Basic science, the more compression from the charger, the more heat generated.

If using the merc C230 supercharger for example, this gives 11psi boost, so an intercooler is needed.

"You can run the standard zetec NA CR as long as you run decent intercooling, either a large FMIC or water injection" - I'd probably get away with a mid size intercooler as the boost isn't sky high.
