An air to water intercooler is a hot water system. You need ~15psi or so to prevent the coolant from boiling away. But if its a closed system (no relief cap) huge pressure builds as soon as things get hot. Expansion tanks work great because the line from the intercooler is always under water and it freely allows the water volume to expand and contract.
