The best thing to do in this case is to use water cooled intercooler from 
Dialinx. It is much more efficient than either UrQ or 5K OEM 
intercoolers. He provides it with electric coolant pump that runs at two 
speeds using a resistance. He has a radiator that goes in place of 
original auxiliary radiator in front or you can use a larger rad and 
place it infront of the main rad for even more cooling capacity. I saw 
one instalation by Kim Collins in one of his cars and it appeared great.
