If the outlet of the turbos is 180-220 and the ambient 98* air entering the front, that is A LOT of hot air exiting behind the intercooler where the system is trying to create sufficient Delta T across the radiator to keep coolant at a nominal value. Add in water cooled turbos and a constant load and you have a truck with as much towing capacity as your average four cylinder sedan. The intercooler relocation is a fad and only for those that REALLY need a front bumper winch. Ford gave the stock intercooler it’s own cooling and discharge path to keep that heat load off the AC, radiator, tranny cooler, ambient engine compartment, etc. NO one that knows what they are doing mounts a hot turbo intercooler(s) in front of radiators.
