Air going into the intercooler has to come out of the intercooler, so blocking airflow behind it still results in a decrease in over airflow through the system. Blocking the radiator still interrupts that airflow and on a track car every little bit helps. Your "barely" might be the difference between a track car overheating in its race and not. Probably won't matter at all one a daily driver but it's a tradeoff regardless.
My question here was more to understand why would you move this at all? Is it just to make the engine bay more "tidy" and appealing to the eye, or is there something else I'm missing?

We have been running this setup in our race car for quite a while now with no issues at all. We have never had any kind of AIT issues at all, even in 100 degree weather. I am a big fan of taking things out of the engine bay to free up room however I can. This year we will be mounting a custom catch can solution where the stock over flow was.
As for an engine bay looking clean and "tidy" Here are some pics of mine.
In this one you will notice how effortless it would be to work around the turbo kit.
To each their own though. I am just a fan of having nothing in the way.

cant look cool when your driving in a hot car.

And some people do DD their Evo with a FF kit. One of the ones STM built with a 35r is DD with a FF kit. If you have a problem with saving weight and adding power then you are looking at the wrong parts.
