ok, this is going to sound ricer, but hear me out first. i read that you found having a long intake helped the car. i also noticed something when i was driving. im turbo, but again, here me out. i was crusing along on the highway, and giving the car just enough throttle to hit 0 load, no vacuum, no boost. so i was sucking air in thru the turbo and thru the fmic. and i watched my iat's drop.
would you think to try a fmic on your na s2k. yes, it sounds retarded, i hear that, but in the end you are sucking air thru a heat transfer part, ie the fmic, and then into the motor, and because brian found that long intakes dont hurt performance, it wouldnt be a big deal with all that extra piping. idk, just thinking out loud based on what i saw.
ive looked at my logs, in boost or at 0 load, my intake temps drop a decent amount ever since i went turbo and have the fmic. anyways, flame away, i know i would in years past lol.

ebay intercooler plus velocitystacke elbowed on one end plus about the same amount of plumbing as a cai going to the tb.
hrmm why not give it a try hehe. at idle id imagine it would heat up rather easy being in front of the rad i guess. but at cruise speed i would imagine it would be cooler then a regular cai.
lol patient it be!

i'm running a gm iat sensor on the intake pipe. my iat's are always around ambient temps since the filter sits behind the front bumper. therefore, i don't think an intercooler will do much since the air coming in is already roughly the same as ambient temps.
btw if you're in south florida, you should pass by the dyno day this weekend in miami

im not explaining it correctly. i was just curious. ive been NA, ive been SC with an aftercoler setup, and i am now turbo with a fmic. all three setups have had the same aem ems and same intake air sensor in the same place. my turbo setup produces the lowest intake temps i have ever seen, in boost, cruising, and partial throttle accelerating not in boost.
hope that helps.
