If you use something such as an the Jackson Racing Super charger that connects to your engine as an Intake Manifold then you cant reroute the air.

If you want an intercooler then your best off getting a Turbo setup. The Only advantage to going to a centrifugal supercharger would be the ability to add an On/Off Switch. When you get a centrifugal supercharger You have would have the same lag that a turbo would get.

Other than, you can use a heat exchager for the jackson charger setup, that mounts in the bumper and looks like an intercooler.
