Default DSM Side Mount Intercooler Behind Radiator?

Is there a disadvantage on putting an intercooler behind a radiator and putting a fan in front of the radiator and making it a pusher? Will the intercooler get too hot and not serve a purpose on doing this? It seems that I have no choice because my DSM sidemount will not fit anywhere else on my car..

the only disadvantage of it is that it wont operate at its optimal efficiency, because the heat transfered from the radiator, will affect it..

theres the option of purchasing a cca intercooler... or just look at how other ppl mount their intercooler..
Im to lazy to search, but this is where you come in..

You could mount it in the fender... http://www.puchare.com/tech/smic/index.html

Or spring for a front mount. :1
