Intercoolers don't work on their own. In the case of an Air-to-Water intercooler, there is a pump, coolant, and a separate radiator to move the heat from the intake charge to the atmosphere. His point was that with this system, the radiator is much smaller than an Air-to-Air intercooler would be and isn't constrained by large intake piping. So you could mount it in more creative ways.
