Open air, factory, or an *actual* aftermarket CAI (ie, still hidden behind the bumper), the intercooler is doing its job — the air temp is the same when it exits. Makes no difference. I’m not arguing that cold air isn’t important, it is, but you have a friggin intercooler... the turbo is what, several hundred degrees? And you think 5 degree (f’) difference on intake temp before it hits a burning hot turbo makes a massive difference. It doesn’t.

I run a decat stage 2 on my 540 and fitted a BMS filter. Removed it within 2 days - loss of torque and throttle response was noticeable, particularly on the hotter of the 2 days I ran it for. I run a wrench/hc.p remap so it’s far from ‘janky’.
