I have certainly been considering it. Sure, the intake temps won't be as low, but the lag should be less and then I could fit a factory airbox in the engine bay easily again. Hopefully less attention too!

Without a post-turbo intake air temperature sensor, I wouldn't think these cars would run more aggressive timing with lower intake temps anyway - the performance gains are really all down to the more dense air charge - and the protection the lower temperature offers as well of course.
