The point of the intercooler is to cool charge temps as much as possible yea?

So lets say the intercooler has 50% efficiency for talking sake.

and also for talking sake the setup he has the filter sucks in 60 degree temp behind the rad/under the ex mani, the turbo heats it up further 40 degree's to 100 degree's and then the IC cools it back to 50 degrees (all for talking sake)

now lets say he moved the filter to a better location, it now sucks in ambient air temp at 20degrees, turbo heats it up 40 degrees to make it 60 degrees, and the IC cools that to 30 degrees as it's 50% efficient....thats lowered air temp by (remember for talking sake) 30 degrees, 20 degree's lower than the previous cone on turbo behind rad/under ex mani setup....lower inlet temps = more power......make sense??
