It's a great place for the air intake snorkel, so it should be a good place
for the intercooler.
If you want to force air through the intercooler, an inline fan, like a bilge
blower, might work.

Yes, that's what I was thinking -- a blower.  This reminded me of a guy who intercooled his converted turbo diesel Rabbit Pick up.  I was just this moment sitting here wondering how he got the air to actually *flow* through that setup, and whether he ever *knew* if the air actually did.  I mean, let's face it, just installing an intercooler isn't going to do squat unless its actually cooling the air going into the hole, and getting it there.
