Default Question about turbo

Hey there,

Heres a pic of my turbo. on the right hand side theres a diagonal cut tube, which is sucking the hot air from the exhaust.
this air is running then through an air filter, then into the charger, after the charger into an air cooler and last into the intake.

Two main things:
1.The air cooler is in front of my water cooler, so it keeps the cool air away from my water cooler. therefore my fan is almost always running...
2. wouldnt it be much better if the charger is fed by cool air instead hot air? Cool air, as far as I know, contains more oxygen and can be much better compressed. (?)

What if I connect the intake directly to the charger and let the charger suck cool instead of hot air? Wouldnt it be much more efficient?

thanks for helping me out

the turbo should be gettign cold air not hot air. as for the intercooler it should be infront of the radiator because cooler air is better than relly cold coolant

So why did they put it above the exhaust..?? for me its not logical at all..

bout the intercooler, I am living in South Spain, so its not getting pretty cool down here... but I got a prob getting my coolant cooler..., the fan is always running

So I leave the intercooler where it is, and reconnect the intake so it can suck cool air.
Does it make sense to take out the intercooler?? and connect it directly?
