Default Procharger Intercooler Locations

So I have noticed that the Procharger intercoolers for our trucks are in a horrible place that doest get near the about of air flow it needs to make a difference. Has anyone moved them to a better place for more air flow? I am debating between an air to air or air to water. I think since its a daily drive air to air would be better suitable. Anyone here run air to water on a daily driver?

The vortech kits are air to water, but my kit is unintercooled since I plan on running an FMIC. Most agree that air to water is best suited for track use when ice can be used, but air to air are going to keep a sustained lower temp over extended periods of driving.

I mounted mine in basically the same place, but on a 45 degree angle for better airflow.
