I've never understood the necessity to get cold air into the turbo considering that same air will very shortly be getting expanded exponentially by the turbo itself. Concentrate on the charge air temps and you'll be better off.

The colder the air going in the cooler respectively the air will be coming out of the turbo. So the intercooler can cool it down lower.

When the air is being heated to well in excess of 100 degrees celsius a couple of degrees drop at the inlet won't make the blindest bit of difference though.
