    Yes, but the reason it is wrong, regardless of appearances, in the case of Image #1 is that intake (hot air from the turbo) and outlet (cold air to manifold) are at the same level.

    For optimum heat transfer, given that hot air rises (and cold air falls with respect to hot), the intake (hot air in) should be at the top and exhaust (cold air out) should be at the bottom. This ensures optimum forced air flow flow assisted by cold air convection downwards, exposure to maximum core surface and hence efficient heat exchange, and efficient purging which minimizes or eliminates temperature layering and heat pooling inside the core.

    In Image # 2 the same problem applies, as both inlet and outlet are at the same level, but this time in the central position.

    Both setups will cool the air to some small degree but will not effectively purge themselves and won't be at their most efficient, especially considering all the misguided engineering effort put into these creations. #2 would cool better than #1, but not by much, assuming all else is equal.

    The "90 degree bend" referred to in Image #1 is a red herring and is not a problem in itself.

    In any event I suspect they might be graphics engineering.
