Seems like a lot of hassle to go through. Any particular reason for wanting a v-mount?

Just get a big proper branded cooler. Still have to take the following into cosideration .
For what motor?
How much boost?
pipe diameter and length?

For a CA
.8 possibly 1 bar
Pipe diameter 50mm to cooler and 60mm from and with a v-mount you can keep lenth short

Lol thats practically no different from the pic I put up :facepalm: :lol:

I think it would be super cool to do though. Just impractical, Im in no way trying to put you off the idea. I say go for it! 8)

I wouldnt want it myself though

well from what i see in your pic is the main air flow is from the bottom where as i would want top flow because that way you can channel the air flow through the power bay better ;)

I agree with Daniel, you can try it, but I think just go for a good branded cooler ( not a no name brand)
For a CA and such low boost it seems to be over-kill.
