#3 will get you about 60% of the cooling of a better inlet and outlet system. The turbulence inside the tank will not allow the boosted air to properly enter the cooler tubes where the cooling effect needs to happen.

At 8-10 psi it might not be too much of an issue

At 15 to 20 psi the Delta Pressure across the intercooler could be much higher.

At your power level it is a flip of the coin Kelvin. But Kelvin, if you have everything apart, why not make it better?
Since you are a great Fabricator of parts anyway and don't have to pay someone to do it right.
