For only $40, and ~3 hours of work, you can have your BAT (boost air temp) ~15* warmer than your IAT (intake air temp) Rather than anywhere from 30-50* higher.
How? Well, partially with this:
This PTFE/glass gasket will reflect 80% of the heat away from your intake manifold.
I dare you to go drive and get your car(MS3) warm, get into boost a couple times, then pull over and try to touch your intake manifold. No? Don't want blisters? I don't blame you. With this IM gasket, you would not only be able to touch it, but grab hold of the runners, as it will be cool to the touch
Here are a couple datalogs that I've done in the last couple days for the nay-sayers
Slow Traffic:
Idle:
Stop and Go Traffic:
The gasket provides the biggest cooling effect, but the Throttle Body Coolant by-pass definitely helps out too.
Everything can be found in John's kit:

BTW, this is with STOCK TMIC
