Abstract

A connection structure of a turbocharger and an intercooler for a vehicle is disclosed. The turbocharger is configured to compress intake air using exhaust gas and includes an outlet for discharging the compressed air, and the intercooler includes an inlet connected to the outlet of the turbocharger and is configured to receive the compressed air through the inlet. An inserting portion having an external diameter smaller than an external diameter of the outlet is formed at an end portion of the outlet facing the intercooler, and is inserted into the inlet of the intercooler. An connecting hose encloses external circumferences of the outlet and the inlet such that the outlet and the inlet are connected to each other through the connecting hose.
