Silly question, but what about incorporating some form of air cooler to increase the MP (due to increased air density) any time in any aircraft engine?

Isn't that what happens on a cold morning - MP increases due to the cold, but the cold ambient temp increases outside air density for a corresponding drag rise?

Told you it was silly!
