I admit I don't know much about intercoolers yet, but I discovered something called an EGR cooler, which cools the exhaust gases before they travel through the EGR valve back into the intake manifold.

This got me to thinking--people connect intercoolers between the turbo and the intake manifold--wouldn't it be simpler and easier to just remove the EGR valve and connect the intercooler to where the EGR valve used to be?

The intercooler would still be connected after the turbo, and the cool air should travel into the intake manifold without having to space out the turbo.

How likely is this to work?
