Ideally the intercooler should act on the air after it has been compressed by the turbo, not before. This looks like it works on the air from the "scope", not an ideal setup.
I don't see any underhood pics, but an intercooler before the turbo would be useless, just rigging up a cowl intake would be superior.
If you ran the U pipe from turbo to intake up to the top of the engine it would be the logical place to put the intercooler to minimize the length of the intercooler plumbing.
There's a green W115 running around Finland running a 617 with intercooler above the manifolds and valve cover, makes more power than the factory speed record car did in the 1970s.
