some progress on this side...
As we can not log the real Inlet temperature via the OBD Port, i had to log it via an external Data Logger.
I used a 4 channel Datalogger from Voltcraft.
Channel 1 is cooler Inlet , channel 2 Intercooler outlet and channel 3 Ambient, channel 4 was empty. All runns performed on the same Road, with just 1-2 deg ambient difference.

Looks like a reduction from 122 F down to about 86 F at 65 deg ambient. Not bad. Should be worth about 6% more power, assuming the same pressure drop. However, based on the increased charge-air cross-sectional area, my guess is there are additional gains due to less pressure drop which translates into more power due to less turbine drive pressure.
