Hey guys so after various tests using the torque app on my head unit I can say my air intake temps are about 10-15C higher then ambient temps while driving around. To my surprise the air intake temp rose really fast while sitting in traffic. Like it would creep up 20-30C fairly fast and then drop fairly quick until I stopped again then shoot right back up. Is there an effect on performance, probably not much but I will heatshield it just to see what happens.

This is with borla UEL and TRD intake. Also fun fact highest intake temp i saw was over 75C sitting with the car off in my driveway. No wonder I cant touch that plastic haha!! Highest temp I saw in traffic was 60c in 25c heat. The car was never really stopped for more then a minute or so.
