A method of bypassing an intercooler (105) for an engine (100) includes the step of detecting (703) an idle condition for an engine (100). based on engine speed and load, air is induced (707) to bypass an intercooler (105) for the engine (100) such that air is input to an intake manifold ( 107) of the engine (100) through an intercooler bypass ( 115) that excludes the intercooler (105). Improved engine performance on vehicle launch and reduced emissions result.

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising the steps of: detecting an idle condition for an engine; and based on engine speed and load, inducing air to bypass an intercooler for the engine and preventing air from entering the intercooler such that air is input to an intake manifold of the engine through an intercooler bypass that excludes the intercooler. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of inducing comprises sending a control signal to a valve, and wherein the control signal instructs the valve to operate in a position that blocks air from entering the intercooler while directing air into the intercooler bypass. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of disengaging use of the intercooler bypass and directing air through the intercooler to provide air to the intake manifold. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of disengaging is performed by gradually changing a position of the valve. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of disengaging comprises sending a control signal to a valve, and wherein the control signal instructs the valve to operate in a position that blocks air from entering the intercooler bypass while directing air into the intercooler. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of preventing flow from the intercooler bypass from entering an outlet of the intercooler. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the steps of detecting and inducing are performed by an engine control module. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of inducing is performed independent of ambient air temperature. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of inducing is performed utilizing hydraulic control of at least one valve. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of sending a control signal to a valve, and wherein the control signal instructs the valve to operate in a position that prevents air from entering an output of the intercooler while directing air from the intercooler bypass to the intake manifold. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of inducing improves vehicle launch. 12. A method comprising the steps of: detecting an idle condition for an engine; based on engine speed and load, inducing air to bypass an intercooler for the engine such that air is input to an intake manifold of the engine through an intercooler bypass that prevents air from entering the intercooler; and detecting that the engine is no longer in an idle condition, and after a delay, disengaging use of the intercooler bypass and reengaging use of the intercooler to provide air to the intake manifold. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the step of disengaging comprises sending a control signal to a valve, and wherein the control signal instructs the valve to operate in a position that blocks air from entering the intercooler bypass while directing air into the intercooler. 14. A method comprising the steps of: detecting an idle condition for an engine; and based on engine speed and load, inducing, independent of air pressure in the intake manifold, air to bypass an intercooler for the engine and preventing air from entering the intercooler such that air is input to an intake manifold of the engine through an intercooler bypass that excludes the intercooler. 15. A method comprising the steps of: detecting an idle condition for an engine; determining engine speed and load for the engine; and when the engine is in idle condition, inducing air to bypass an intercooler for the engine and preventing air from entering the intercooler such that air is input to an intake manifold of the engine through an intercooler bypass. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the step of inducing is performed independent of ambient air temperature. 17. A method comprising the steps of: detecting an idle condition for an engine; when the engine is in idle condition, inducing air to bypass an intercooler for the engine such that air is input to an intake manifold of the engine through an intercooler bypass; detecting that the engine is no longer in an idle condition, and after a delay, disengaging use of the intercooler bypass and reengaging use of the intercooler to provide air to the intake manifold based on engine speed and load, thereby improving vehicle launch. 18. A method comprising the steps of: detecting an idle condition for an engine; when the engine is in idle condition, inducing air to bypass an intercooler for the engine and preventing air from entering the intercooler such that air is input to an intake manifold of the engine through an intercooler bypass; detecting that the engine is no longer in an idle condition, and after sufficient compressor boost is achieved, disengaging use of the intercooler bypass and reengaging use of the intercooler to provide air to the intake manifold. 19. An apparatus comprising: an intercooler disposed between a discharge pipe and an intake manifold; an intercooler bypass disposed between the discharge pipe and the intake manifold and excluding the intercooler; and a bypass valve disposed in the discharge pipe such that when the bypass valve operates in a first position, airflow from the discharge pipe is directed into the inter-cooler and when the bypass valve operates in a second position, airflow from the discharge pipe is directed into the inter-cooler bypass and airflow into the intercooler is prevented; wherein the bypass valve is controllable by an engine control module that instructs the bypass valve to operate based on engine speed and load and independent of temperature for an engine in an idle condition. 20. An apparatus comprising: an intercooler disposed between a discharge pipe and an intake manifold; an intercooler bypass disposed between the discharge pipe and the intake manifold and excluding the intercooler; and a bypass valve disposed in the discharge pipe such that when the bypass valve operates in a first position, airflow from the discharge pipe is directed into the intercooler and when the bypass valve operates in a second position, airflow from the discharge pipe is directed into the intercooler bypass and airflow into the intercooler is prevented; a backflow valve arranged and constructed to prevent airflow into the intercooler when the bypass valve operates in a second position; wherein the bypass valve is controllable by an engine control module that instructs the bypass valve to operate based on engine speed and load for an engine in an idle condition. 21.
