intercooler relocation
has anyone ever moved their intercooler or would see it as a bad idea to? on my chevy with the ac condenser intercooler and radiator all there, it gets HORRIBLE air flow through there (keep in mind it wasnt designed for this appliation. ive been thinking alot lately about plumbing the intercooler underneath the bed so that i can run a much larger radiator and electric fan setup (in california 110 degree weather pullin a trailer it just doesnt cut it)
can anyone see any reasons as to why this wouldnt work?

im not worried about a little more turbo lag ill worry about that later. and im ot needing duct or anything for the intercooler its not that im worried about. im trying to get more air to my radiator it gets horrible flow. the intercooler and ac condensor stop any air from actually gettin to the radiator

for the air to air I think the shorter you can keep the piping the better

I'm wondering why you don't get good airflow to the radiator. I mean, they are designed to be flow-through parts. The net cooling effect is reduced only when the turbo is boosting and the A/C is on, so the air is a bit warmer by the time it gets to the rad, thus a little less heat transfer potential. But that should not make a big enough difference to really be even noticeable, except possibly under extreme conditions like towing in the summer.
Is the truck running warm or overheating?
