That can't be efficient having something that size. Firstly the drag of the thing and secondly limitations of what you can do with the air anyway - the closer you try to get to ambient temps the exponentially bigger you have to make it. Totally pointless as its the law of diminishing returns.
You also end up with 'intercooler lag' where the turbo has too much of a void to fill before the air reaches the engine. Surely water chargecooling or just a better fin design etc would've been the way to go.
