In theory yeah it may help drop the water temperatures it a bigger rad was used. Not sure what percentage of gain you would have by increasing. Maybe some of the alloy manufacturers maybe able to help. 
If you measure the water temps and the air charge temps, then you will get a good idea as to whether the water is getting too hot to absorb any heat from the inlet air 
If the temperatures get close, then you would benefit from more water or a bigger rad
Steven RW from here had a big custom made chargecooler on his S2, he eventually ditched it in favour of a twin cossie setup (lighter and more efficient)
Hope this helps
