Well. . .yes. . .but the coolant (at engine running temps) is never
anywhere close to the ambient air temp, so then using coolant will only
increase, not decrease air temp decreasing air density - Intercoolers use
ambient air, not radiator coolant, to cool the "pressurized" hence
increased air temp back down to somewhere around ambient again.
