Nice try.

The device dumps most of the air that it receives as warmer air, so, you would need a huge amount of air to get a much smaller amount of cold air.

The compressor is not able to provide anywhere near enough airflow to allow this device to provide sufficient airflow to the engine.

Additionally, the air from the compressor is about 200°F. The discharge air would then be 160°F. A small benefit, but, nothing like an intercooler, which can probably get down to 120°F. in 80°F. ambients.
