Where does the intercooler draw air?

It's what Lotus called a "charge cooler" on the Esprit Turbo where the compressed air from the turbo exchanges heat with coolant, not with outside air directly. I assume that there will be an extra radiator or that some engine coolant fresh from the radiator is diverted to the charge cooler.

Correct. An air/water intercooler doesn't require direct air flow over the intercooler itself. The cooling happens remotely via a front mount heat exchanger... or in our case, we will be using the factory third radiator as a heat exchanger. Think of it as a mini cooling system, where the intercooler is the engine, and we use an electric water pump to circulate water.
