Hey, I thought that air to air intercoolers needed constant air flow in order to work effectivley. Because look at the Koenig F50, the intercoolers are placed at the back, behind the grill/taillight panel, right on top of the exhaust system. How would the intercoolers work this way? There is no outside air constantly hitting the intercooler face. Or does the drag from the rear of the car suck out the warm air from the intercoolers, but doesn't air have to hit the face of the intercooler?? Can please somebody explain this to me

air is pulled in through the air ducts located on the rear hatch.
