I don't see that a fan will either fit or be very effective. You may be able to fit a very thin/small puller fan behind the intercooler which is more effective than a pusher.
If that doesn't work, get a vented fender liner from a Turbo S, and make sure that you have the stock ducting (trimmed to fit) still fitted between the bumper and the intercooler. If no ducting is in place the air will tend to move around the intercooler.
What are your IAT's? Do you know if the ECU is pulling back fueling because the temps are too high? IAT's shouldn't really be an issue in everyday (legal) driving, but if you're pushing it real hard like its track day then you could experience some power loss from IAT's that are too high.
