If you touch one end it should be warm, and the other side should be cooler.

Well yeah because thats the purpose of the IC to exchange the heat away from the IC.

An intercooler is basically a big heat exchanger. The inlet side (endtank) should be warm and the outlet side (endtank) should be cool. As far as sizing goes, it all depends on your specific application, but generally, a bigger intercooler will result in a higher pressure drop across the system than a smaller intercooler.
