Yeah my question was aimed at the engine bay temp reduction.
If the intercooler does a good job then your engine bay temp should also come down. If the cooler can keep your egt below 500 then your radiant heat from turbo and exhaust will be greatly reduced.
As for having a winch bar,lights etc there should still be sufficient air flow. Things like the small plastic guard at the front below your radiator and the rubber curtains inside you guards all play a factor in the air flow. These should try to be kept in good condition.
