I actually find this a much better solution all round, even if I didn't have an inter-cooler.
Coupled this up to a 10" Revotec high power fan. I haven't even ducted the nose yet and can hammer it along the motorway without going above 93* in the hot weather today. Previously I would need to slow down to 55mph to allow the engine to get down to 100* 
In traffic the fan kicks in at 97* and only takes 60 seconds to get the engine back down to 92*. Well happy.
Now If I can relocate my air filter to somewhere less warm...
