The point is that intake temp is not significantly important even at idle because it will get heated to underhood temp by the intercooler. (Some of which is caused by radient and ambient turbo heat.)

This is why we spray Intercoolers in grid. 50* water cools aluminum to <50* due to evaporation, so intercooler output temp ends up about 50*.
