Agreed, I poorly worded the point I was trying to make...
10 psi is 10 psi on a particular turbo...But 10psi of hot air is not near as oxygen dense as cooler air. Thus why you see people having fuel pressure issues during the winter months and not the warmer months. More oxygen requires more fuel.
What I should have said was that in order to achieve the same power production that you get with colder air you will need more volume of the hotter air.
You can debate 9 ways to Sunday on whether you should be more concerned with or not with the IC being the real issue here with the heatsoak issues vs the pre turbo intake system....
However, being as we don't have an aftermarket readily available intercooler to help yet, it would be beneficial to keep the air coming into the turbo from intake system as cool as possible to assist in anyway...
Hot air hitting the compressor when it can be avoided is never as effective as getting fresh cool air.
But again... this is a moot point because they are now developing a box to help insulate the filter from the rest of the engine bay.
