what you say is very true, and after mcoking up where the turbo would go, i would require less than a foot of tubing for the intake, so i really wouldnt have any surface area to work with.
but ill try anyway for fun. i know there wont be a noticible temp drop at low boost but at higher boost when that intake temp shoots up, im sure ill see some drop in temperature.
also, how do you think some kind of a heat sink would do...links fins welded onto the intake pipe. or would that do no good since it would only be radiating into an already heated engine compartment?
