I remember reading articles about remotely-mounted turbochargers and, besides the lower heat irradiation through the engine bay, which might be quite a PITA to overcome in some small cars, the extra piping required actually worked in a way similar to the intercooler of a normal turbocharging setup, as it increased the surface area for heat exchange and the longer distance provided for a natural cooling of the intake charge.
