    You have to run a Front Mount Heat Exchanger (FMHE) on an intercooler. The plate that goes between the supercharger and the engine is what transfers the heat out of the air going into the engine.

    i think he was referring to an actual front mount setup. some have done it in Australia and for our cars the general conclusion is that there is too much piping to make it run right.

    What you are referring to is an air-to-air setup, as opposed to the water-to-air setup that everyone uses. There is a reason we all run water-to-air.

    water to air is going to work better, water works better at getting rid of heat.
