Hey Winmut,
I like the idea and an interesting approach. I had fed compressed air via the boost gauge port on the intake and checked for leaks that way, but the approach you highlighted is more contained so it should be better. I'll give it a shot.
Here's a few pics of the IC, it's a small 9"x9" aluminum unit, but compact, and fairly efficient given my 150-200 deg drop in EGT. I never measured pre/post IC intake charge temp, as the main reason for the IC was to lower EGT's for the sake of saving the #14 head....it gave me another 10 years before I finally replaced the head with a #17 unit, all to deal with a persistent oil leak at #1 cyl.
My intention was to add an IC without any sheetmetal cutting, and plumb it in such a way, that should I or anyone else want to return it to stock you could and would never know it once had an IC. I also long ago deleted the mechanical fan and shroud for an electric setup, and this provided all the space I needed for a short run of tubing to the IC and back
