Evosport has a cooling upgrade package for the V8 Kompressor cars. You might want to look into it for ideas. Who knows, maybe you could make it fit on the V6K W203s?

You'd be able to fit a much larger resevoir tank in the trunk than under the hood. You could run the coolant lines through an electric compressor to significantly cool down the intercooler coolant. Use that in addition to a heat exchanger. It's just an idea. I know it has been done on other vehicles

You could pull a thermalelectric (TE) unit out of a small 12V cooler unit (electric Ice chest). They sell those powered 'beer coolers' for about 50$ to 100$ at places like Walmart, Kmart, Target, ect.. They are based on the Peltier effect, fully electronic, except for a fan.
Some people move the battery to the trunk and put the water tank in the old battery location. The other option is to find a location in the fenderwell or put the tank in the trunk.
Back in about 1999, there was a Mustang owner that had placed a small tank in his trunk with water lines running to the front of the car for cooling of his air/water aftercooler on his Vortech supercharger system. On the Vortech website, they have aftercooler kits with water tanks. you may be able to get a partial kit?

You're not going to find anything made specifically for our application. You don't need anything special. You have two lines, a supply to and a return from the tank. Put a cooler in the supply line to the tank. Das it

They are common place in larger industrial applications. I use one at work to simulate different coolant conditions in aircraft. I'm sure that smaller scale ones must exist. I tried googling for a minute, but can't think of a narrow enough term to find one.
