The best way to do it is add separate transom pick ups for the intercoolers. They need to get as much water as possible for them and you don't want to deprive anything else of water flow. And also the chillers do not need water at no wake speeds, so getting pressurized water at low speeds is actually bad since it could possibly take the fuel out of suspension.
