I have a 1 of a kind 'true' cold air intake.   After passing through the supercharger and the intercooler it is 2 degrees warmer than ambient air.  Temps are taken from the ECU inputs.  That is under normal driving conditions.  under full boosts it is a couple of degrees cooler.

Your "true" CAI wouldn't even be true anyway... You're picking up the rediculously hot air coming off the Tarmac... Not to mention it has a very far travel through your homemade intake just picking up extra heat from friction.
Completely off but good try, the intake length is just as long as the stock but is routed better.
The temps compared to stock/overpriced intakes is far lower btw, have fun and have a good day.

Proof would be good.

Seems like we are being inundated with unbacked statements lately

The OEM CAI does not start until after the noise baffle build into the front of it.
So just chop that part and you have one of the best intakes for our 2.0 LNF.

In fact none of the stuff he asked about will produce any extra power, although the larger IC would help him keep whatever he had for a bit longer as things heated up.
