TBH I think you're going to be no better and perhaps worse off than having the filter in the stock location on the other side. That entire area is stagnant when it comes to airflow and engine heat eventually heats up the intake tubing causing the IATs to creep up.
I noticed this today going for a drive. Air temp was about 75 degrees, but the IAT temps were around 90 degrees. IAT2 temps were actually cooler than the IAT temps at about 80 degrees. My IAT temps are always hotter than IAT2 temps under normal driving. Thank goodness for a good heat exchanger.
