Somone told me Cold air intakes mess up turbos
If you cant read and tell what the words Havta, Goina, and alott mean in a sentence the education level up north has gone to crap! You have made 2 post to this guys thread and issued NO help what so ever, but hey +2 for your post count!
Oh and BTW here in the "north" we don't usually need to use words like "havta" "goina" and "alott" to create a sentence. Maybe it's different down there.
In the "south".

Yes turbos heat the air... but cooler air entering the compressor = cooler air exiting the compressor. Yes I know the turbocharger heats it, but it doesn't heat it as much. I'm too tired to go into the complex math... but a cooler compressor intake charge does make a difference.
The simple math is that cooler air, is denser air... and to achieve "X" level of boost, the turbocharger has to compress more WARM air than cold to achieve "X" boost level. the higher the turbocharger inlet pressure, the less efficient the turbocharger is working, and the more the turbo is heating the charge air.
