It would depend where you positionned the cooler in the system mate - on the pressure side or the non pressure side!!

the pipes are just longer and made of metal and go into the air flow
look at a sierra one that dobles back over the steering rack, or the granada cosworth one which is about another 2 metres longer as it winds itself around the back of the washer fluid resivour

i think it's on the return side though
