Its not like an intercooler automatically makes air a certain temp, it just keeps temps from getting too high. (So having an IC doesn't turn 90f air into 40f).
90F air with a turbo pre-intercooler is gonna be mid-80's or higher after-intercooler.
90F air with turbo NO intercooler is like 100+after turbo.
90F air with phantom is still 90ish after phantom.
An intercooler won't help cool temps for the phantom, and adding one would just create more lag, pressure drop etc.

If the compressor is relocated to the front of the radiator, a high-flow cone air filter attached, fed into insulated intake tubing and run over the radiator, past the MAF sensor, and into an insulated liquid to air IC, (shown below), and directly into the throttle body, this could be super-cooled by plumbing in AC lines from the AC compressor. This would prevent the worst effects of heat-soak, through insulated IC and tubing, and would super-cool the charge through freon cooling instead of ordinary water.
