Stock MAF location? The stock intake is pretty good at getting ambient temp intake air, within a couple of degrees unless you're stuck in traffic, which doesn't really matter. This is proven on NA cars and the theory doesn't change on this setup. It's not an open filter and the actual intake is in the bumper. Air in the filter housing will not really increase in temperature unless it's not being used. Once you get any form of velocity into the system then ambient (bay) conditions really become largely irrelevant.
I do understand that you're in a hot part of the world, I really should try rigging up the MAF IAT sensor into my rear O2 input so that I can compare ambient/pre/post charge.
Think about ideas like:
Better IC radiator
More water in the system
Better coolant:water mix
Larger water pump
Water/meth spray
None of these have been proven, except the last. But it may be what I'd try. However the issue may be the laminova core, which we can do nothing about.
