intercooler gta

does anybody know why the intercooler on the gta is placed so close to the engine and not in front of the car?
a picture would be nice

there are pictures somewhere of the GTA set-up,

.... it could be due to race regs as far as size of IC and the position could be to make the inlet as short and straight as possible.

it also appears to be shrouded with a cold feed to the front of the car :)
