Intercooler RELOCATION? 850 96R

Has anyone relocated the intercooler in the 850 turbo?

From what I've heard its factory location is behind the radiator, which is not exactly the coolest place I think of. Would someone please verify this? If this is the case, wouldn't it be logical to relocate it?

For instance, the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO-7 has its intercooler in the airdam area, below the radiator. Someone please verify whether the 850's intercooler is located in the most efficient location coming from the factory.

I have already relocated the horns that were blocking the airflow right in front of the radiator, now if anyone has relocated the intercoolers I'd like to find out how and where to move it to. Thanks in advance!
