Sexy wrap job. Did you do the coolant bypass around the throttle body as well?
By design they run warm coolant around the throttle body to warm the air...mainly for cold weather season etc. Might have had more effect if you did.

found the link I read somewhere on the mass interwebs: http://www.rotaryinsider.com/diy-tac...pass-gap29.htm

I didn't do the bypass mod as I think perceived gains from it are far-fetched. I wrapped the intake with zero intention of it doing anything positive for the performance, I just thought it looked cool...

No my turbo is on it's own cooling circuit with a reservoir, front mounted heat exchanger, and a Bosch water pump.
