Don't have a clue about either one of your questions, but just to let you know, one of the mods is going to be here shortly telling you that it is house rules to have your location in your signature line. I know, I know, most newbies, including myself, put it in the profile section and called it good; but that's not good enough, it's gotta be in your sig line.

Rules is rules.

J,
Are you refering to an intercooler that sits between the turbo and the intake manifold? If it can be done to a deuce, somebody has probably done it! You might want to search the hot-rod thread. Realistically, the boost is so low there's no need to cool the air charge and the cooling system is so conservative there's no real need for an electric fan anywhere but blowing on the driver!! But again, if there's a way I'll bet somebody has done it...

Also, you need to add your location to your signature so's we all know where you are. Thanks.

actually i read the coolant warming the intake defeats the after/inter cooler

Don't know about the intercooler. To help cool the intake air, consider moving the air filter canister outside the engine compartment.

I have checked into the possibility of using low profile electric fans (note plural), because of limited space in the center of the radiator, four 8-inch fans could be installed around the center.
You would need to have the 60 amp alternator to provide power. The 25 amp would make it on its own, but you do have lights and other things to worry about.
An additional thermostat to control the fans would be needed unless you have manual control.

For a lot of driving conditions, the standard fan would not be needed at all. Perhaps you can remove it and try driving without it. It's on MY experiment-to-do-list.

Compare other threads about the radiator shutter and cooling system.
